Yea, it's a bit odd that they would go the way they did with the 'gift'. I like that they gave something extra to people who paid. But overall, and considering it's a virtual item that costs them nothing to give, I would have thought they would be a bit smarter about the type of gift they gave.

If I were them, I would have given some game coins, and items (including a few MichaelAngelo Scripts) in a bundle. Something that everyone could use toward what they needed.
