Get Jetpack Joyride for free from Apple via Facebook

This bothers me. It bothers me in the same way that the anti-slavery, anti-trafficking-in-persons app "Free World" requires you to log in via Facebook in order to use it.

I had a Facebook account, and then I quit over a year ago. It's nothing I'm going to pontificate or proselytize about. It was a personal choice to not even reduce usage to the reason I signed up: to post pictures. For me, just going in and making sure my security settings were set right after a new "update" was becoming one more management headache.

It's not that I won't get a free app. It'll be interesting to see what Apple does marketing-wise with all the "likes" they get by bribing people with mind candy. And the author's attitude in this article is equally disturbing. "All they're asking for is your information on Facebook, which it might have access to anyway...". That's not disturbing, is it?

At some point the social media bubble is going to burst. And when all the investors begin to jump like rats on a sinking ship, the last thing these social media outlets will have to recover their losses is a huge database of personal information to sell. Paranoid? Maybe. But, enough personal information gets lost due to negligence. I guess I don't see the need to be a willing victim so I can get a free app or a coupon to Taco Bell. It's not like a big information company would do something like that, right? AOL, anyone?

I also got the expired message on my iPad, however, from my Mac it worked fine.

I can't stand when companies have promotions or contests where you have to use Facebook to access it. Fortunately I already have Jetpack Joyride but it's been happening a lot lately where companies tie their promotions closely to use of Facebook. Especially stupid are the "once so many people 'Like' our FB page we'll unlock the next tier in the sweepstakes" things.

I'd rather pay for it than re-join facebook.

Got it!

Thanks

No problem for me...pretty great little game! Addicting, actually!

Downloaded it on my Mac just now. Couldn't see it on Facebook on my iPhone so assumed it was a US only offer but no there is a freebie for us in the UK too!

Why can't I get the code after I "like" the page? am I doing something wrong????

Doesn't work. Facebook says the content has either expired or is not accessible

I got this today. Pretty awesome. PvZ and Civ Revolutions is also on sale for .99 at the moment. Pretty decent deal, if I do say so myself.
