In this day and age - Only the elderly and complete morons would be clicking those ads for free games and get ripped off and/or viruses on their rig.

You have services like STEAM, SOE (Sony Online Entertainment), GOG, MTX, Windows LIVE that are giving you and others WITH NO STRINGS attached.

You even have TV commercials for games like Lord Of The Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online and other stuff...

Freeware is a choice. For some like me, it's the only choice because NO GAME COMPANY is getting my money. Period. But computer gamer have a choice in OS they pick - One that is retail or others that are free or legal. They also have a choice in games mainstream retail, indie retail or freeware. Choices that are not available elsewhere.
