The Oatmeal has me pegged and so I felt I needed to make amends.
Why did I wait for a free Internet cartoon strip series to guilt me in to buying the $1.99 version of a free game (ReMovEm) I’ve played over 12,000 times!?
As the strip posits, I had a rationalization problem. Anything that can hold my attention (or steal my attention a few minutes at a time over the past 2 years) deserves my financial support.
If you’re the Tetris-loving type, give the free version a shot and thank The Oatmeal for calling me on my own hypocrisy.
It took an article on the makers of Words With Friends to move me out of the Free column. Basically, once I saw the human developers behind the curtain, I couldn’t imagine not spending two simple dollars.
