> Did you write this comment before doing any research into how NYT handles their games? I'm somewhat aware of how it works. > NYT has a bunch of daily mini games that are free and have been for a while. Only the full crossword and the archives are paid. Well it's like I'm a fish complaining about the fisherman's worm having a hook in it, and you're saying but at least there's a good worm. Free tier games on NYT clearly serve as feeder for subscriptions. Here's an example of NYT juicing someone's "high" following a free game of spelling bee, in order to push them to subscribe. https://pasteboard.co/pIS5qkZcXkNB.jpg I hate this kind of manipulation. Again can't blame the NYT for responding to competitive pressure but the free portion of their game is such an obvious attempt to hook gaming subscribers that I personally really don't see it as a "nice thing". |

You can't have your "mad props" and eat them too. Either he sells and you have to suffer the horror of a nag screen to get a free game, or he doesn't, and you don't.
