That was their intention, yes.

And no one has been arguing against that.

It's possible to be completely happy with the intent, and still have issues with the actual operation. - That's what you're experiencing from people putting forth complaints. Not complaints about the intent, but complaints about how they handled the event. How Drecom attempted to realize it.

And yes - some people were both hampered in getting the free cards because of the time, and outright prevented in getting some of them because of the connection issues. Look at what Drecom's actions were: Emergency maintenances and apologies... They agree themselves: It wasn't well realized.

Now, I don't want to have the debate restart, as I don't think anything good will come of it. Too many people seem to be preoccupied with the "errors" they see in the other side's arguments, and insufficiently focused on presenting their own arguments properly. - Saying what you think isn't enough. You have to predict what other people might listen to. - And certainly not try to come up with ways to make you seem better than the other side.
