Yeah. That episode was not really about criticizing "freemium" games... if anything, it was criticizing the people who do. As proven by the dad Randy who was drinking through the entire episode and defending it as something different. Also when Satan said "Hey, we all have a f***ing hole to fill."
I also liked the comparison to slot machines, the point that alcohol companies use a far more blatant method of drawing people in, and the subtle inclusion of sports fanaticism into the theme. I'm not arguing that freemium games don't have a method of making money off of people's obsessions, I'm saying that it's ignorant to speak of them as this "new evil," when the method has been in place for a long time by many other industries. Which was the entire point of the episode.
