Pie is right, of course... If I ran a business, it would be financial suicide to give away all my products for free. Backflip has to make sure that there's always some incentive to pay for gems. Their business will fail if the players get so many free gems (or dragons, for that matter, since most gems are spent trying to breed dragons) that we don't bother subsidising the game any more. No income means no DragonVale.
