This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well it's easier even to want more money, cooperations giving something away for free that could have earned them money is not that common.

It is when it gets people on your platform, and more likely to spend money on other things on the platform. It's called a loss leader.

Yup happened to me, I tried half life since it was free and absolutely loved it, yes and that's why I bought the complete pack (around 8 games iirc) for the 6€ (around 6.5$), and it was an absolute steal imo
