If something is given to you for FREE, do you have the right to complain or rant about it?

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, "Journalists" and Reviewers have made a business out of getting free games and complaining and/or ranting about the negative things they found in the game.

People say "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" but you still have to feed it and pay it's dentistry bills. So Yes you are allowed to complain although depending on the circumstances it can make you look like an ungrateful bastard.

I would certainly complain if I received a punch in the face for free (sorry if that was too far out of the box).

Well, what is it that's being offered or foisted upon you? If it's a faulty product or an STD, you'd be quite right to kick up a fuss. If it's a patch for a game that didn't work on day one then you can criticize the company for its practices but you'd better do so constructively if you want them to avoid repeating them. If they're giving you a gift for no reason other than they felt like doing something nice, you should be grateful.

Yes.
I mean someone could seriously gift me shit wrapped in a box and I can't call him out on it just cause it was free?

They really could. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.867201-Cards-Against-Humanity-Sold-Poop-and-People-Actually-Bought-It]

OT: This person's complaint was completely free of charge so anybody who complains about people complaining about free things will also be complaining about free things. I mean, that person took time out of their busy schedule to tell them exactly what was wrong with their videos so that they could improve, and nobody shows any appreciation. Bunch of ingrates.
