The fact that they're free to download is part of the "scheme" here. They're "scouting" with the idea of freemium games being the spinoffs, and due to the gross awareness the downloads of shuffle showed, they interpret it as "there's interest in the market to have microtransactions in the game, regardless of the overall game quality/replay value/what have you". Otherwise, they wouldn't be chucking out of the woodblock spinoffs with this modus so fast. They're "testing the waters" for these new format.
I wouldn't say that this is the only way they'd do their games or spinoffs from now on, no. But this also raises the possibility of a grim scenario; one where they interpret the million downloads as "Hey! We should/are going to implement it on a major game/major spinoff!". From now on, we cannot rule out this possibility. EVER.
So what to do TL;DR? Don't even download the game
It's sad that people will still defend this terrible scenario, along with the horrible possibility it brings, but that's life i guess. Still thinking that /vp/ was better than this; with the horrendous acceptance of shuffle i thought they'd see for themselves the schemes
