This idea is really worse. If this is such a good idea, then next time this company has a new game, why don't they hold a lottery and only people who wins can have the "honor" of purchasing it? Then they know how many copies to print and just like with these promo cards, only a portion of those who want the product will have a chance to get it. Ridiculous plan.
They're promotional items. Why is this possibly a bad idea? They're obviously not planning on making a massive printing run on them, since by their nature, they're limited and promotional. They're also saying, here's a chance to win some other stuff for free. I don't see the problem. Sure, I'd love to buy the King of Tokyo expansion. It's not available right now. But I understand that a small company has to make sure that they can sell what they produce. This game has turned out to be a success. I imagine that their production runs will be larger in the future.
