Most freemium games crudely abuse human psychology to get players addicted and waste their time and money. It's entertainment, sure. But most of the time the game's are like slot machines, designed primarily to hook users and exploit them. Not out of any genuine desire to provide entertainment. I think the freemium model is probably not ideal for many products that people have a real need for, it just lets people be freeloaders if they don't need the premium features. There are several freemium services I use that I would happily pay for.
