" Stuff like this blows my mind. Let's complain about developers giving away stuff for free. That'll convince them to keep doing it.

A rapist might lure a child with free candy.. that doesn't mean his intentions are pure.
Just because somebody gives you something for free doesn't mean you must immediately and blindly sing the praises of said somebody.

It's not like they're handing out a shit-stained washcloth. They're handing out a copy of what is widely considered last year's Game of the Year. And I highly doubt EA Marketing people are going to be coming to your house to molest you in the middle of the night. "
Candy can be pretty nice.
And you never know. They might.

Just because I don't see the need in attacking EA for giving you something free doesn't mean I'm singing their praises. It's funny that just because some people don't care for EA they immediately say the idea of them GIVING YOU A FREE VIDEO GAME is crap. You don't want the free video game? Fine, don't take it. What if a company that you did like did the same thing; would you call that crap? Probably not. THQ did the same thing with Darksiders when they gave away copies of Red Faction: Guerrilla. Did anyone talk shit about that?
