Got email few hours ago, don't really bother, if the site do a giveaway of the game that is just being given away for free (!) for everyone (!) in the owners store (!) Its right away block emails and never see the site again.

It looks like they are cooperating with SharewareOnSale website now, which is apparently very similar, it uses same template or so.
I have been subscribed to the 2nd websiyte for quite a time now and they do send usefyl free promotions but yeah - some people might not like to share their email every time on that site. Plus - it let us know about promotions like free Origin game and still asking for uor email....
I used it to get some free Antivirus or something back in the past but then I didn't even use it, lol.
Perhaps SharewareOnSale website and FailMid is the same, just 2 domains? Would need to check.

Probably from the same group, looks like after the "success" of SharewareOnSale they wanted to expand into gaming with FAILMID. I used to like SharewareOnSale and got more than a couple of good softwares from them already.
But when someone is whiling to do that kind of thing (illegal use of others promotions in order to gather personal data and/or advertise their website) I wonder what all their moral values are.
Anyway, already reported to Origin, they can easily be sued for that.

I already got the game when Origin had just set it for free, but I decided to check what this was all about.
So, it appears they're advertising a giveaway for Need for Speed Most Wanted by e-mail, they send you to a partner's website (SharewareOnSale) then asks for your e-mail (this is the worse part), and they give you a link the the Origin store where the game is free (which has nothing to do with FAILMID).
If they're whiling to do this kinda of shit, I would think twice before joining another of their giveaways (or at least using your real e-mail).
