If some place has crazy sock day, they’re talking about people wearing bright loud print socks or something super outlandish.

The crazy socks in the photo are the socks they give you when you’re admitted inpatient at the mental health hospital.

Makes perfect sense. Those free games are generally funded by advertisements. You are the product being provided to the people paying for the ad time.

I tend to avoid free games as best I can…

If it’s free, you’re the product.
