First, I don't like anchovies on that game. Now whatcha gonna do about it, freedom hater, huh, huh? People are entitled to share their opinions, can't stop them. Working as intended. Plus, there are a lot of patrons and ex-patrons here, and if they aren't entitled to criticize games then who are?If you're stuffing your face with free games, say "thank you" don't bite the hand that feeds you saying "I don't like anchovies on that game" go grab a game with no anchovies.
Second, that's kinda the point of criticism, to grab another box. For all that talk about free market you're missing the current state of the indie porn games market entirely: it's saturated with shit. Therefore, criticism is very valuable to consumers.
Continuing the pizza analogy, we have this pizza box that promises the most amazing Hawaiian pizza ever, and when you open it, you find one piece of pineapple and a shitton of anchovies. Now you've wasted time at the very least, if not money. In this situation it's preferable to have a hobo raving about how this piece of anchovy shit is a scam. It doesn't matter whether the hobo bought the pizza or "stole" it, as long as he's telling the truth about the contents of the pizza box. Hell, maybe his rant will attract anchovy lovers.
Continuing the tortured analogy some more, you open the second box, and you get half a slice. It's good, but small. And so you realize that it will take 10 years for the bakery to complete the pizza. Again, a raving hobo would be helpful.
tl;dr: ergo decedo is a fallacy.
