Vaporware <=SEP=> In the computer industry , vaporware ( Brit . vapourware ) is a product , typically computer hardware or software , that is announced to the general public but is never actually manufactured nor officially cancelled . Use of the word has broadened to include products such as automobiles .   Vaporware is often announced months or years before its purported release , with few details about its development being released . Developers have been accused of intentionally promoting vaporware to keep customers from switching to competing products that offer more features . Network World magazine called vaporware an `` epidemic '' in 1989 , and blamed the press for not investigating whether developers ' claims were true . Seven major companies issued a report in 1990 saying they felt vaporware had hurt the industry 's credibility . The United States accused several companies of announcing vaporware early in violation of antitrust laws , but few have been found guilty . InfoWorld magazine wrote that the word is overused , and places an unfair stigma on developers .   `` Vaporware '' was coined by a Microsoft engineer in 1982 to describe the company 's Xenix operating system , and first appeared in print in a newsletter by entrepreneur Esther Dyson in 1983 . It became popular among writers in the industry as a way to describe products they felt took too long to be released . InfoWorld magazine editor Stewart Alsop helped popularize it by lampooning Bill Gates with a Golden Vaporware award for the late release of his company 's first version of Windows in 1985 .   Vaporware first implied intentional fraud when it was applied to the Ovation office suite in 1983 ; the suite 's demonstration was well received by the press , but the product was later revealed to have never existed .

Free-to-play <=SEP=> Free-to-play ( F2P or FtP ) refers to video games which give players access to a significant portion of their content without paying .

For freemium games , users are granted access to a fully functional game , but must pay microtransactions to access additional content . Free-to-play can be contrasted with pay to play , in which payment is required before using a service for the first time .   The model was first popularly used in early massively multiplayer online games targeted towards casual gamers , before finding wider adoption among games released by major video game publishers to combat video game piracy and high system requirements . Without upfront payment , publishers may charge money for in-game items or integrate advertisements into the game .

Source (game engine) <=SEP=> Source is a 3D video game engine developed by Valve Corporation as the successor of GoldSrc .
