someone in control thinks that the best way to get more sales of doughnuts in the future is to make you impulse buy limited time items. It doesn't matter than the Cool Brown House was free, it was limited, and it's the limited part that needs to mean something.
I own the Ray Gun, despite not playing last Halloween. I got it this year. By your insane logic, they would have never re-released the Ray Gun because it was limited time. It would have only been available in October-ish of 2012, and if you missed it that's just too bad. Even if it wasn't possible to play on your device at the time.
This hypothetical marketing policy you've dreamed up does not exist. There is no unbending policy on "limited time." EA can, and does, do whatever they want with any items in the game. The only thing that seems to happen consistently is that items will go from being free to costing donuts, or possibly cost more donuts than they previously did.
So. Free item. Lots of people will pay donuts. Donuts means money. Bottom line wins, all the bright-faced paying customers are happy. Longer term players didn't have to pay (and hey, maybe now they can have two cool brown houses. Why the heck not? I've seen plenty of people wishing they could have more than one of them.) Everybody wins, really.
