"use of credits not encouraged"? I'm not sure where that's coming from.

It's just another form of currency and means that FM/EA get some form of income (which we all agree is good). They might not get the full $20, and/or Chromecast might not have paid the full $20 to get it either - but that's neither here nor there.

Sure there's plenty of people who have pretty much decided that the game is not worth more than their time (which FM/EA do regularly seek to monetize through, eg in game ads) but that's always seen as a personal decision. Indeed, the more other people who are willing to pay money the better it is for the others.
