Just to avoid loose expressions here.... I am very satisfied with the deal I got, but "free" meant $7.95 of my money. To use the rest of the voucher would cost me an additional twenty bucks or so (depending on how I balance what I can get for cheap versus what I can actually use and is worth the effort to download). Which is actually a better deal than I expected. I was thinking of getting Mimic with the voucher, but with the voucher limits I would have spent a few more bucks of my own on it. So, yeah. I got a bargain, and I'm happy, but lets not debase the language and create false arguments by calling it "free." DAZ isn't out there offering freebies because of the goodness of their hearts and it cheapens the argument to claim that. They are making sound marketing choices, and in many cases these also create decent deals for the end-user. Not all users will benefit equally, and each much balance what they personally stand to gain or lose from the deal.
