TSTO's Worst Run in Memory

In before probable lock and/or deletion. Me be the voice of reason? That's unpossible. Here's my two cents, since this thread has degenerated into a debate over freemium/premium as opposed to the quality of recent content. I personally feel the quality of the content, while having a few decent points, is on a downward spiral. At least we haven't had to deal with a fricken' wheel lately! As for the whole money thing, look at it this way: Say I buy a console or PC game the day it comes out. Months down the road, when I have beaten said game and it's collecting dust on a shelf somewhere, they release DLC, or an expansion, or some kind of additional content. Am I obligated to buy said content? No. Does it change the fact I (presumably) had fun playing the game? No. That, for me is the distinction between free, freemium, and premium. Origin had Peggle as an On The House, so I downloaded it. There's no extra content to purchase. Therefore, it is a free game. I play Tapped Out. I can buy extra stuff for it, but don't HAVE to in order to play the game. Hence, freemium. I go out and buy a console, peripherals, a game, and then later DLC(even if I don't need the DLC to complete the game), that girls and boys is what I call premium. To sum it all up, I'm gonna keep playing whether I can afford donuts or not, and the only thing that really cheeses me off is that they continue to re-release items that were previously free or cost in game cash, as premium items. Another desperate cash grab from your friends at EA! For crying out loud, EA, RELEASE THEM AT THEIR ORIGINAL COST! I will apologize for the wall of text, but not for the caps lock rage. That is my axe to grind. TL;DR Content going generally downhill, TSTO is a freemium game, and EA needs to stop re-releasing previously free stuff for real world money.
