If it was stupid shit like a pdf with a picture of the dev team smiling and making crude gestures, I'd agree. But they're doing stuff like giving away free copies of XCOM.

I can get behind free stuff.

So why is it a bad thing? We're receiving goods that we want in exchange for doing something that they want us to do. Is that not a fair trade? Am I missing some part of the issue at hand?

Kaden just hates capitalism and America. Is this not right, comrade?

That's my issue. I didn't say everyone has to hate it. I said I do.

Meh. Preordering has been going on since the days of the barter system. On the plus-side, at least Steam is giving free shit away.

Also, Vad, there was a time when prepurchasing produce was the norm. The farmer would promise you a portion of his crop in exchange for, say, clothes or iron.

History, ftw!

Yeah, most people won't have any problems with it. I understand that.

To the point about crops: that still happens today. Around here its actually pretty common to go to the farmer's market and give a farmer $10 and come back the next week to get a box of whatever he was harvesting at the time.

If I want that shit for free, I don't need to do it through Steam or pre-order something for it.

Isn't paying for a surrogate mother akin to pre-ordering a baby?

Are we talking surrogate as in "I'm going to hump you now" or "we're going to put fertilized eggs in you now"?

Like: My life is finally turning around. I'm an idiot for being semi blind to it.

Hate: My depression and Bi Polar are suddenly extremely out of whack.

Now that I think about it. Some things in my life right now are severely out of my comfort zone...

Good lord, Watson. I think we've made a discovery.
