    When the game company makes you sign up for their e-mail newsletter in
    order to get the game for "free".

    And of course you have to sign up for their website to in order for the
    game to work, but don't worry they won't sell your information ... much.

    Sometimes "FREE" is too high a cost.

    There's no such thing as a free lunch.

    TANSTAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. (Larry Niven)

    Actually, R.A. Heinlein. From _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_, one of
    my favorite novels.

    And it's TANSTAAFL! At the end of the novel, it's on the Lunie flag.

    It's one of those words, like grok, I love dropping in a conversation
    to see a) who gets it (yay!, fellow nerd!) and b) confuse all the
    other rubes ;-)

    "grok" is Heinlein too, hope you didn't think that was Niven! :P

    Still, cheap lunches are common. Needing to sign up for Fanatical's or
    GoG's newsletter for a free game and getting rid of them later by just unsubscribing is still cheap and easy.

    True, keeping your principals can be very expensive yet somehow selling
    them never seems to turn a profit.
