It may be true for some games, but pretty sure not all. Indies are more likely to giveaway their games for free advertising, but some publisher think they don't need it.

All with any business sense the bigger the better especially aaa games.  At a certain point you have to forget your old product and invest in the new one.  Giving away the old sets up the new one for success, especially if they follow a story arc.  Lets the consumer get into and catch up at no cost.  Its a simple choice you can hope to milk another 100k from a game that made you millions already or do everything possible to ensure sequal success.

Im sure a few may be moronic and to cheap to do it, some live some die.

 

 

Anyone with common sense would know you don't need a male protagonist to sell a game. Or that a MMO that is not like wow can sell, etc

Investors are stupid sometimes, but they still are the ones to decide. And yes that's a great deal for them, and i'm sure some knows.

For example any pc game more than 5 years old (there are exceptions of course) should be given away for free because publishers don't get money from them anymore. They still don't do it.
