    For some reason this post has gone off the rails in a entirely different direction. Like I said in a previous post, when these people refer to "free" cards they seem to refer to the offline content and not the online content for some reason. Either way you earn the cards by playing the game, they are not given away for "free".

    Again, like others posted, it just means you don’t need to spend stubs to get the card

    Again, you don't need to spend stubs to get ANY card, you just have to play the game.

    So you’re telling me you can get Chipper without buying a single card from the market? You must have some pack luck.

    Either way your logic is flawed. You can’t get headliners or special packs simply through playing. You need to spend your stubs on the market to acquire them

    Well you can, but headliners are as far from guaranteed as possible and base round is almost a certainty. So base round cards could be considered free I suppose

    I agree to that extent but for instance, the Mo and Mookie collection pretty much requires you to have most of headliners. No way someone pulls them all from free packs

    So if you pay to see a movie, did you pay twice? Once with money and once with time?

    Yes, obviously.

    This is true. But since we like to debate: technically you pay with time lol.

    You have to spend stubs. You don’t have to buy them, but you have to spend them.

    This is just ridiculous. Everyone who says free means they are not buying the card with stubs..The OP knows this but just wants to argue for the sake of arguing. No one who says its free is saying it's because offline vs online like you are trying to make it out...It's for one reason and one reason only....You don't have to spend stubs to get it.

    My logic is flawed how exactly? The only cards you can't get without buying are the expired rewards cards from past game modes. But when they were available to get, all you had to do was just play the game to get them. Playing the market flipping and investing is technically playing the game still. The only free cards and stubs you get are from daily login bonuses if I'm not mistaken. So technically you don't have to play the game to get rewarded but just log in everyday. And we all know nobody does that and doesn't end up playing the game at some point.

    My main argument still stands though, these cards in these programs and game modes are not "free" you still have to earn them by playing the game and if you don't get them that way you still have to earn the stubs to buy them by playing the game still or by working the market.

    And how do you get those stubs? By playing the game and earning them.

    I’m gonna make this as simple as I can because you’re really annoying it’s ridiculous. All I’m saying is when people talk about “free”, it means without purchasing with stubs.

    SDS uses Stubs as a recognized means of currency in game. They DO NOT recognize anyone’s time as currency.

    Therefore, people say a card is free when they do not need to spend any recognized currency in the game (Stubs)

    If you want to spin in any other way inside that clearly imaginative brain of yours, that’s on you. You give me Freeman of the Land vibes

    I dont give a rats [censored] if you think I am annoying or not. That's on you pal. My whole point from the get go has been this.....these cards are not given to you. Period. They are not "free". You have to work for them and if you don't want to do that, you still have work for the stubs to buy them. Period.

    I get what your saying but they’re still free. Yeah you have to work for them but don’t act like it’s hard either. They're free because your only option isn't buying them from the market. If you wanna think they’re not free because you have to put time in to get them, then so be it but they’re still free. I’m thankful they do what they do because it could be worse.

    Yes yes we all took freshman economics and understand the time value of money.

    I'm going to guess that less than 10% of the people on this forum understand "time value of money". But I do...

    How much did it cost to post this? Wait how much did it cost to read this. Wait if you are dropping a #2 while you read this on the toilette does that make it free?

    Stop freaking arguing your point. You asked a question. Everyone here answered. You asked why do people call it free....We told you why....Sounds to me like you just wanted to ask a question not for the answer but instead so you could try to prove some asinine point you have in your head that was not asked for or wanted.

    You are the type of person who will ask someone how their day was and before they can even finish answering you interrupt them so you can tell them how your day was. You weren't really interested in their answer, you just wanted to be able to talk about you.
