    I'd say only having to post something that entertains 150 people is quite reasonable to get a free stressball, delivered free anywhere in the world. They could offer no free prizes, and 150 ++s could get you nothing!

    Where do you think the money to pay for these things comes from? There are no ads in-app, there's no sign up fee. All this free stuff (app included) comes from the creators' wallets. Be thankful for what they've given you.

    @jimaginator first off, I usually don't see that many stress ball worthy posts. Secondly, yes it is, don't you think that getting free stuff (whether or not it's a marketing stunt) is something you should be grateful for?

    @jimaginator how would you pay for it tho?

    @jimaginator you are comparing a store (where people pay) to a free app without any way of bringing in money, are you this dense dude?

    @jimaginator I never discussed the reason, I merely commented on the fact that you were acting ungrateful. Now you are just being plain idiotic.

    On top of that @dfox and @trogus seem (from what I've seen in here, on the email and on twitter) to be really sympathetic folks so it wouldn't surprise me if they just want to give back to the community.

    Thank you to everyone in here who stood up for us, it means a lot. We appreciate all of the users in the community more than anything else, and if we could afford to give out more free stuff, we would.

    @jimaginator's "math" was exponentially off. Unfortunately it costs us $13 to ship a stress ball internationally, which makes it impossible to give out more than we already are without making any money.

    As @MicroNibble said, stress balls will soon be available in the store we're preparing to launch. International shipping will still cost $13 (until we figure out a way to get that lower), but that can cover the shipping for a stress ball, stickers, t-shirts, etc. And the stress balls will be sold at just a couple of dollars more than they cost us to make.

    Also, if we didn't value our international users so much, we'd be able to give out more squishy balls. Shipping them inside the U.S. costs only a few dollars, but we want to keep it fair and not exclude international users from free swag giveaways.
