EVGA Free Mafia II Offer

[Aug 31, 2010, 5:31 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The EVGA Website has details on how owners of eligible EVGA graphics cards purchased between March 26 and August 23 of this year can get a free copy of Mafia II via digital distribution. This entails uploading a copy of the invoice for your card, and word is: "These are in very limited supply, the faster you get your invoice uploaded the better your chances are to collect." Thanks Shawn.

The main problem with EVGA's offer is that it isn't actually providing the game to everyone who purchased the eligible cards. It is limiting the supply to keep from having to pay for every buyer to get a copy. And, what makes it ironic is that because it is a digital download offer, technically there is no supply problem. The scarcity is simply artificially imposed for economic reasons. This comment was edited on Aug 31, 2010, 23:42.
