"Freemium Isn't Free" is the sixth episode of Season Eighteen, and the 253rd overall episode of South Park. It first aired on November 5, 2014.
Stan is addicted to the new Terrance and Phillip mobile game.
At South Park Elementary, Jimmy Valmer tries to get Kyle Broflovski to play the new Terrance and Phillip freemium game. Kyle takes his advice and later, with Butters Stotch, plays the game. They find it to be rather boring. Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick find and agree with them.
In Canada, Terrance and Phillip barge into the Canadian Department of Mobile Games, confronting the Canadian Minister of Mobile Gaming and Prince of Canada over creating the game without consulting them about using their likenesses. The Prince and Minister of Mobile Gaming try to pass off a charade but Terrance and Phillip see through it. They explain that they can make low quality games and use micro-transactions to make money and that it is all harmless fun.
At the Marsh Residence, Stan is being punished and grounded by his parents for spending $489 on the Terrance and Phillip mobile game. Randy Marsh blames his father's "demons" from his gambling addiction. Sharon Marsh says that maybe Randy also inherited those traits with alcohol. Randy denies it because he quit and only drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon and wine.
Back in Canada, The Minister of Mobile Gaming explains to Terrance and Phillip that the mobile game has to be barely fun so that the players micropay to make it more fun. He also entices Terrance and Phillip with money and the simple idea that everyone is doing it.
Later, Stan is confronted by Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny because of his addiction to the Terrance and Phillip mobile game. Stan inadvertently reveals that Jimmy told him about the game. Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny figure out that Jimmy has been telling everyone about the game.
In town, Kyle and the others confront Jimmy about pushing the game on people. He reveals that he has never played the game and is simply paid to push it to people.
AV Club gave "Freemium Isn't Free" a "B-" rating saying: "And yes, I get that the episode was trying to draw a line between freemium games, gambling, and alcohol addiction, but that all seemed like a bit of a stretch. I’d rather South Park get to the business of making me laugh rather than teaching me about the ins-and-outs of mobile-gaming’s nefarious moneymaking strategy. Which isn’t to say this episode didn’t make me laugh at all—it definitely had some funny moments. I’m a sucker for any appearance by Canadians and Satan, so it’s nice to get an episode with solid moments from each."
IGN gave "Freemium Isn't Free" a "7.5" rating saying: "This week's South Park featured a clever setup, with Canada exploiting the freemium game phenomenon in order to renovate their own country. However, much of this episode was wasted on longwinded explanations of freemium games and how they worked. (A largely unnecessary subplot involving Jimmy didn't help matters.) That said, the episode picked up steam when Satan arrived to help Stan and later do battle with the Canadian Devil himself: Beelzeboot!"
In the meantime, why not watch something else? South Park. Freemium Isn't Free. Season 18 E 6 • 06/11/2014. Stan is addicted to the new Terrance and Phillip mobile game.
