Paysite Discussion Thread
Tenshii~Akari:
Thank you. That's much better and much more believable. ;)
Wonder what EA plans on doing next. I still say they if they're going to allow paysites to continue what they're doing, they should have a type of permit/license available for them to purchase and certain rules to follow. Don't know exactly how it works, but it would make me feel more comfortable if they did something like that... (:roll: Laughable, yes. What I just typed is extremely wishful thinking. Especially with what the third paragraph in the EULA says. :lol:)
Dr_Pixel:
Yes, EA is pretty much trying to keep themselves OUT of this, they certainly don't want to become responsible for paysites (or any Sims2 fansites for that matter)
sakrayami:
Where has EA made paysites legal? If they do that, i can go to EA and complain about broken peggyhair, or be it other paysitestuff. If they make paysites legal, they also will have responsible for WHAT they are making legal.
It's not that difficult to create CC, i have done this myself for own use, but i can't see why i should claim money if i uploaded it? Because EA allows me to do that, is it what some of you are saying? And where has EA outlawed Filesharing?
Tenshii~Akari:
Well, not saying that they have made paysites legal, but to me their inactivity and unwillingness to make a decision in the matter just speaks louder than anything else they've done, unfortunately. (...of course, they also haven't said anything on filesharing custom content either, so it's still going to continue without a doubt. :smile bi:) I'm just saying if they do allow paysites to legally continue being the way they are, they might as well have more say about it. It's their product, so they should at least be clearer on what's really legal and what's not, especially in the case of selling CC...
The changes to the EULA still don't give a clear stance on the paysite issue, IMHO. Just because "non-commercial" was removed, we can't really know for sure what EA is planning on doing... :dontknow:
sakrayami:
Yes i agree they could have been clearer. But imo., the EULA i agreed when installing my latest EP is the valid one. Not a "new" statement who have taking away a paragrah of non-commercial use on a custom content browser (pardon my english). I haven't agreed on this socalled new EULa. Isn't this EULA for the software content manager? I understand that paysites, like TSR is making their own versions who fits them of course, it's money involved here, i can only speak for myself, i am not interested in this business,, money is not the problem, but it's a moral question.
Anyway, this will not change anything, paysites can't go out and tell people that they are legal, unless they have signed a contract with EA, and we all know that this is not true or possible, the EA would look stupid compared to other game-communities, i haven't seen this debate before in my entire life.
But if - i say IF EA should legalize paysites, i will uninstall my game and play other games, not from EA, Sims 2 is not my life, i have work and family, this is just a hobby for now.
