Fan Sites Must Be Destroyed!
tibby13:
Wow, funny, but honestly a good point. thanks for the outfit.
Chairman Greg:
SakuraSan101, no offense intended; it is a true story. The underlying point is that the philosophy espoused by the arrogant rich criminals is to destroy the livelihood of less fortunate professional artists.
Thanks, Tibby. Glad you like it! :D

This is actually a fansite, so is Mod The Sims, so they should all be destroyed! What would be funny is if EA disallowed custom content for Sims 3. Heck it would be funny if Bon Voyage wasnt compatible with custom content.
Chairman Greg:
I'm not too worried that EA will intentionally make an expansion pack or a new game that prevents the fans from making custom content.
I can't speak for them, of course, but I'm sure that their marketing folks understand that every smidgeon of fan-created content on the web is another little incentive for people to buy their games. In fact, I can't think of a cogent business reason that EA would want to slow down fan artists; while at the same time, I can think of lots of business reasons that they wouldn't want fan artists to go looking for a competing game to support. :)

EA has no interest in preventing CC, its bad for business. I have good reason to believe that future releases from Maxis will be more CC friendly rather than less.
Unfortunately the humour in this particular artistic statement is somewhat limited for me, some of us get routinely subjected to too much crap from people who genuinely believe those sentiments. I don't personally enjoy stuck up kids giving me a hard time because they feel I should close my site if I can't afford to pay for it entirely myself, sadly for me the most important decision I have each day is not whether to take the blue or the pink Lexus out for a spin. The bewildering sense of entitlement that seems to be so pervasive throughout this community continues to shock me, the idea that not only should creators make things, they should also be solely responsible for paying for the privilege of other people playing with their creations? The community's deranged obsession with pay sites completely ignores the fact that *someone* has to pay to keep these websites online. Keeping websites free involves more than simply bullying those who can't afford their sites offline.
