God is cruel

I’ve been thinking.
God is omniscient, right? This means he knows everything. He knows what’s going to happen and when. He knows everything about the past,the present and the future.
We have free will, right? This means we can do as we choose and God has no control over what we decide.
Because God knows everything, he knows in advance what we will choose. He knew what the bad guys - and there are plenty of them - were going to do, but he still went ahead and created them. He knew they would burn in hell for all eternity because of the choices he knew they were going to make.
God deliberately made people, knowing that they would go straight to hell, would not pass go, would not collect £200 and would suffer for all eternity (minus the eternity before they died, of course).
Why would he do that?
