just because they deliver it before the release date, doesn't mean you have the right to have it for free, they could've included it on disc and that would still be the case. I don't understand why people think the act of physically having some data on a disc gives them the right to use it, cost or no, that's not how software licensing works. It still costs money to create that content, why shouldn't they charge for it? Do you go to your job and work for free?
