But the way it really works out is that as a one time show of appreciation, they gave you 500CC (without the need to pay an additional $4.99) on top of what the price of your subscription already buys you. Think of it similar to a store promotion where you get something free with a purchase of X. If you were going to purchase X then you got something completely free, but if you bought X just to get the free item, you really paid for the free item and got X for free. Either way you got something without having to pay extra for it (or more colloquially known as free).
we are going in circles has been explained , also in that video if you cared to watch it !
some people like money as birthday present , others like a gift !

give your partner or your best friend 5 $ as appreciation , see how much they like that
Especially after hyping it up ! Hun I am going to do something wonderfull this year !

See, Drake? I was able to understand that post! There wasn't anything weird or vaguely serial killer esque in that. Why couldn't you do that in the other thread before it got closed?

I know my wife/son/family/friend enough to get them something they would like that is personal and reflects the level of our relationship.

Bioware/EA doesn't know me from a box of rocks. Look at it in that regards and all the going around in circles can really end, as it was the best bulk option to please the bulk of people. But at the same time, you don't like the free 500cc just say nothing. Anything other then a thank you (like the gift or not) is just rude in my opinion (my mom and dad raised me to believe a gift is never to be sneered at as I am entitled to nothing).

Exactly. Free (as in we had to pay nothing extra to get it and they were under no legal obligation to award it), but not a gift (gifts do not come with prerequisites or requirements).

You clearly would have preferred a box of rocks.

You have the wrong poster to oppose Andryah. CosmicKat is the anit-Andryah.
