It's not "7 Free Days of Playtime". Stop calling it that.

If I pay you to bring me 5 apples tomorrow and you don't bring them, but then the day after that you come and give me "5 free apples in compensation":

It is NOT free.

It's what I've already paid for and you failed to deliver on the agreed terms.

Please do not embelish facts and reality with pleasant sounding words.

The correct way to make the announcement would have been "We are reimbursing you 7 days of playtime from your subscription. We might reimburse more days at a later date if the problem persists".

He did explain it. He’s paid for something he hasn’t been able to access, then they are giving the access he paid for and calling it free. Pretty straightforward

False, if they are adding 7 Free Days to his subscription, it is indeed free.

Access the Mogstation and under Service Account status check your subscription type and if it's active or not.

If it's active then you've already paid for those 7 "Free" Days of Playtime since you have not been able to play.

False, if they are adding 7 Free Days to his subscription, it is indeed free.

If people were not given the service they paid for when they paid for it, then that's a breach of contract. Giving people "compensation time" after they have not been able to play is not free, it's reimbursing what they paid for so they can't sue for fraud.

Except no one is paying for early access. They are paying for the game. Paying early allows for potential to play early, but is not a guarantee. He isn't paying extra for the early weekend, there was not a $5 fee added to the monthly fee if you accessed Endwalker content this weekend.

But if you paid for 4 apples and got 7 you got 3 free apples. And you might get more...

They are "adding" 7 days, You didnt Pay for those 7 days.
Thus, they are Free.

Even if you were to go pay for 7 days right now, they are still adding 7 days to your account.
Do the math, you now have 14 days, but you only paid for half of those days, the other half was given to you for free.
So its still a Free 7 days

Only if you dress in white and wear a fedora!

Adding something you failed to supply which was paid for is not free. If you went to a store and paid for a bag of apples and they didn’t give it to you, then turned around and said “hey have a bag of apples free instead!”

Would you simp for that company?
