Agreed. A new crop may be the worst gift ever. I was expecting something for doing 32 hours of pointless tasks to advertise the new episodes. If you're going to buy me off, Fox/EA, buy me off! Give me a building that costs you effectively zero dollars! Something!
Just a recent post - as a freemium player who wont pay anything, why should you be given gifts and free content? Especially as you also have a feeder town to get extra use of the free parts of the game.
I am not trying to argue or flame, nor am I thinking i am "better" (far, far from that), just want to find out the psych behind it.
Heh. You dug up an old post of mine but I think this a slightly different situation. Episode tie-ins are explicitly advertisements to watch the current show. They also have traditionally included a free item. If they are going to advertise to me in the free game, it's nice when they throw in a free building or character. Do they "owe" it to me? Of course not. It's just nice and they've done it in the past.
