Unless it's a weekend or public holiday, most people are very likely do be at work or school. So they won't have time to 'claim' their free plays. Why not lump all 6 free plays together? And why do we need to win or claim battlez plays to get gem rewards? Where did the world quests go? AFAIK, it's a free-to-play tactic. They would rather a player play more sessions of shorter length each, vs. 1 long session, even if both ways add up to equal amounts of time played. The former keeps players more sucked in and invested. Places like supermarkets and Costco does this too.. you already took the time to drive/walk/ride to the place. May as well buy extra stuff while you're there!

Totally agree! But in a reddit post a pvz2 official wrote something like: we don't want battlez to take people off their daily lives. Uh, isn't encouraging some people to spend 4 mins on their device every 4hr taking them off their daily lives? I think spending 1-2 hr after work is less distracting
