    It's a common marketing strategy to offer trail periods. If the game had gone free to play permanently you might have had a point, but it hasn't, so you don't.

    if the game was in a good shape, no need free weekend to play.

    Yes, it is a bit early for a free weekend, but if this marketing strategy helps to "reanimate" TD2, it is ok, imo.

    Agreed, most of the games I have played that have offered "free" weekends or gone free to play, had a micro-transaction store available to continue their income stream. Unless you are just hooked on ugly outfits, this game doesn't even have that. Thus it is an attempt to get more players. Unfortunately some will probably buy it as 1-T4 is really fun to play, and I doubt the trial players will hit T5 and experience the problems ahead over a weekend.

    Don't forget the discount!!! 33% off! Nothing like steep discounts just months after its release.

    I LOL-ed when they said "growing community." I went from having 30+ people on my friends list online at all times to 8-12 and now it's less than 5. The friends who do check in after a while all say the same thing: that the game is boring and they're going to go play something else.

    But that doesn't stop the developers from nerfing builds and ignoring the 100s of threads telling them exactly what is wrong with the game.

    I don't believe he argued the game was in good shape, just that this is pretty common the last few years to give free trials. Blops4 just did that a month or two ago, if I remember correctly, and I wouldn't say it's in bad shape.

    no, it's this one

    "Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg… and my arm… even my fingers. The body I’ve lost… the comrades I’ve lost… won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there. You feel it, too, don’t you?"

    Just another example of it’s all about the money, let em play free long enough to hook em but not so long to go beyond level 30 when things begin going down hill.

    I don’t wanna quit, like the game but I’m absolutely bored, no sense of accomplishment & when I do play something always seems to be bugged. Now I just go on killing sprees now.
