Phenominality said:B2G1 free has always been a marketing scam to claim a “sale.” Coke and Pepsi love this one!
Buy 2 get 2 is a much better deal on Coke and Pepsi products…
As for games stuff like this used to happen at places like Toys R Us and they were a great deal as you could legitimately pick multiple new releases or multiple older titles that were already deeply discounted.
I think Gamestop still does this with pre owned titles, so if you want discs for 3 new titles you do, in theory, save money (so long as you’re playing them) and if you play the fast games first, can sell them back for a portion of what you paid too.
But digitally for a single publisher? Nah, it’s about the worst possible form of digital sales.
