I think that's a little harsh. Some freemium games (Dragonvale, TapZoo, and Zombie Farm come to mind) are readily playable and enjoyable without spending money. There are some things you can't do in some of the games (for example, some of the animals in TapZoo require cash), but there's still plenty you can do without spending money.
