So you're saying that it would've been downloaded 4.5 million times if it wasn't free? The only way it could ever reach those numbers was by being free, so what I said is correct. I didn't make any statements about the quality of the game. It's the second game in the franchise and the first one never got this attention. Why? Because it wasn't free.

See, you're doing it again. It doesn't work with me, fella. Stop trying to use absolutes in order to artificially bring the weight of the argument onto your side.

It wouldn't have done so well. Do you understand the difference?

Looking at the STEAM sales it would've only done around 20% of what it "sold" now if it wasn't free. So yeah, the main reason it was downloaded so many times was because it was free.

Compare this game with other new games that were free right from the bat (and similar production values). Any other comparison makes no sense.

I'd love to see the evidence you used to determine that it would have done 20% of what it did if it wasn't free. 

Did it being free help? Of course. Is it also because the game has great word of mouth? Yup.
