A lot of people are drawing those kinds of conclusions and getting upset that they'd have to pay money for what they used to play for free.
I don't see people getting upset, but I do see people saying "Meh, played the core mechanics...the rest is paid for window dressing" and I think that's valid.
I played Trials, for example, a long time ago when it was a Flash game on the Finnish site, DNA Internet. I have not bought any of the Trials games that have come out as PC or console titles because I have played the core game in its fullest, that being getting a dirtbike and rider with dodgy physics over objects and ridiculously contrived obstacles. Having played two of the titles at a friend's house, I can see that the core game is essentially unchanged from my Flash game playing days.
Now that I've had that experience for free, why would I want to go back and pay for the same core experience all over again?
I don't and apparently a lot of other people don't want to either, hence the comments.
