Giving away part of their game is how id Software made millions of dollars off of Doom.

That was pretty much a demo...

Yeah, but you didn't need a subscription to play it. Also, I don't understand the "harmful to the industry" crap. I don't care about the profits of the companies. It's their job to make me want to buy and play their games, not my job to support them by giving them money just because they're guilt tripping us.
