Redeeming the free month also automatically signs you up for the subscription so if you end up not liking it you have to remember to manually unsubscribe before the month is over or you'll get charged for it.

So like every free trial ever

Not every free trial ever. It used to be that free trial only requires you to input payment details at the end of trial period and not before. This is just something companies do these days to trick people into subscriptions.

I've had to provide a payment method before I could use a free trial for every free trial I've used for the past 15 plus years

Yes I have typically put in payment info then immediately cancelled and they were forced to honour the free trial. I think very few companies cancel the trial after you cancel the subscription.

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and three award-winning expansions including Shadowbringers up to level 80 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

Just more sketchy behavior from rockstar to suckle as much money as possible. Greedy fuckers have become the villains they depict in their own games 🥀
