Left Behind Games controls neither the post office nor the company (trymedia.com) that is providing the download service. I've never seen this sort of petty, false nitpicking on any other free offer before.

What sort of petty, false nitpicking is that?

Jeez Malygris, can't you see he's talking about you bringing up the reveiw scores for the game? I mean good lord man, what kind of a nit-picker are you? Talking about how other people gave it both good and bad reviews in a compleatly unbiased way? I mean come on, give the poor game a break already.

I assume the false, petty nitpicking is the five dollar (4.99, whatever) "digital download convenience fee". Which DOES sound a lot like false, petty nitpicking, AKA "we ran out of money to print more CDs of our terrible game, so if someone would give us money and we'll let you download it for, eh, "Free", we'd be grateful!"
