So... you can't see a difference between people finding out a game is broken (your words) before having to pay for it, and people not finding out about the problem until after spending 60 dollars?  Really?

So a free game is not a game because its free? Angry birds while free is still a game just as call of duty is still a game. I did say yea its free which is why im not in pitchforks and thank goodness for them it is. But they still developed a game that to this day has rediculous bugs. And they have done a pretty subpar job of being up front about what they are doing and updating.

If you buy call of duty and it's buggy or unplayable, then you've lost 60 dollars.  If you download Angry Birds and you find it is buggy and unplayable then you've lost absolutely nothing.  That's a pretty obvious difference.  So, I'm ok with downloading something for free that's a work in progress, especially with something of this nature.

The idea that they're both "still a game" is kind of off.  A free sample I get at the food court is "still food" just like a 50 dollar steak is "still food".  But I wouldn't care much if my free sample of General Tso's chicken was overcooked, and I'd be pretty upset if my 100 dollar steak was overcooked.  I would actually wager my life on the fact that your expectations vary based on price in every other circumstance in life.  So to say it makes no difference here doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
