never claimed they were free

No shit they are a business trying to make money. That is normally what businesses try and do...

He obviously doesn't understand stockholders, investments and profit

Wasn't that so ours DOESN'T get hacked O.o.... just wondering.

then why isnt valve on bankruptcy yet? or why isnt Bohemia Interactive on bankruptcy for releasing dayz on arma 2 for free? you also could have read this too http://mp1st.com/2012/05/18/arma-2-sees-500-increase-in-sales-with-introduction-of-dayz-mod/

now, sirs, it seems like you dont understand a shit. or if you think you understand something about business, lmk why these two examples arent in bankruptcy yet, eventhough they are giving away free stuff (and more valuable than a shitty avatar)

Dont ruin your statement by bringing Arma2 DayZ into this. DayZ is a horribly glitchy/buggy mod that isnt even close to ready be put on a paid market. While i love the game, the idea of you using that reference made me want to smack you.

no matter how horrible it is, it's still free and increasing the sales of Arma 2, which shouldnt be possible according to those two above

I don't know what we are talking about, but I know Trials releases hundreds of new and free DLC every week.

500% increase in sales... Sounds like people are paying for something to me... What are they buying?

they are buying the game itself to play the free mod. and due to MOD, which is free, the sales have increased.

now should we make it even more simpler?

Arma 2 = 15€
DayZ mod = free
People buy Arma 2, which costs 15€, to play DayZ mod, which is free

now you, business guru, still saying that you cant make revenue with free stuff?
