Now if the game wasn't called free, I wouldn't mind. But it is called free. Except it's not.

The game is provided free of charge, but (as with a zillion other such digital products), money (or premium currency) is charged for additional virtual goods. My 8-year-old nephew understands the freemium concept. I can imagine someone downloading the app without understanding the pricing model on which it based, but it would rapidly become clear to anyone playing it who had a brain. You may not like the model, but there’s nothing devious or surreptitious about the way it’s implemented. You either come to terms with it or quit.

Or complain constantly on an anonymous message board. And come up with all sorts of wild conspiracy theories.

Again, this concept is not a difficult one to grasp. The game is free to play. You don't need those things to participate.

It is difficult when you have it in your head that EA is out to get you

My advice to anyone who holds that belief is to not play any EA games. That'll show 'em.

I agree. If I dont like how a Pizza tastes, Im not going to keep ordering and complainingb hoping they will change just because I like pizza. Im going to find a place where I like their food.

But thats just me...

Bingo. Here's a real world example: My nephew's school basketball games are free to attend. At those games, the team's booster club will sell souvenirs and concessions. While buying that stuff may enhance my experience, I'm not obligated to buy any of those things. The game is still free for everyone.

Exactly. Don't be Homer eating the rotten 10ft. hoagie. It makes him sick but he refuses to throw it away.
