    If you have to pay money to get something for free that isn’t exactly free, right? Think about it.

      You have to pay for electricity and a computer to play the games right, then I guess no games are free if you take it to its logical conclusion.

      There are tiers of being free, this game just happens to be on a less-free tier than you think is appropriate for “free”. Someone else may argue a game is not free unless it can be downloaded openly on the internet without an account. Your idea of free is no more or less valid than mine

        The “tiers of free” thing is exactly what I was thinking, I’ve done a little write up at the bottom of the new sticky post which covers this very point!
