Re: The game is free.......get over your entitlement mindset.
To the OP: You get over yourself!
Look what EA has done to Plants Vs Zombies and Peggle. They've turned really amazing games into pure rubbish for the lazy inside all of us. Simcity... Look what's happened to the Simcity crew... Fired. Let go. Jobless.
I'm on level 43 and, since day one, I'd REALLY have loved to have simply purchased the game and gotten on with it but no as, instead, we're subjected to tactics that are purely dubious. Then again, saying that, I'm not forced to play the game.
From a moral point of view you could spend a whole load of cash on this game and EA knows this... EA are, basically, evil. "They want your cash and that's not evil?" Depends on how you go about it. Either way they've produced a damn fine game that's being tainted by greed.
