If anything, EA has a history of being grossly unfair to new-comers. I started playing mid-January 2014. I missed out on all the XMAS event content - quite important given how little Consumerism-raising buildings the game has - and although I cannot predict the future, I can already "guess" the content everyone else got for free back then will return with a 20-30 bucks price-tag next December by looking at what they did with the whacking-day stuff.

All players, new and old, should be given equal opportunity to get promotional content. It should be effort/patience-based, not dependent on lucky timming. Much in the same fashion that I can pay to speed up tasks/building/income cycles, I should be able to either pay for a premium building to get it now, or wait to have it for free during the following year's event (VDay/Halloween/XMAS/etc)... or just put a high "game-money" price on it, as an alternative to donuts. Lazy players will still pay in donuts, hard-working players will get a fair chance to obtain it, and those lucky enough to have gotten it during the promo time-frame won't be at a loss.
