EA's Business Model Finally Revealed

If EA is making a lot of money off of this game, good for them! Most of us want to make as much money as we can in life. If your employer offered you a raise, would you decline? No way! Corporations are no different, they'll take your money if you're willing to give it to them. If you give out everything for free, you go out of business. There have been mistakes made in the implementation of this event in my opinion, but the fact that you need to spend donuts to get all of the prizes (unless you're incredibly lucky) is not one of those mistakes.

Another point that I forgot to make in my other post was that nobody is asking for anything for free. We premium players who have spent hundreds of donuts for absolutely nothing premium are clearly willing to spend money. The problem is that we're spending a lot of money and getting nothing in return. It's EA who wants the free ride. You've got it backwards. I have NO problem forking out cash to this game, but I want something in return. That is the most basic rule of economics.
