Well, I don't know how much clearer it can get...

[Lwerszva]

Pretty sure the last argument the paysites have to stand on is "Waaah, you're mean!" now.

Gah. Tell that to Rose. She insists that she uses copyrighted models and that EA can't legally force her to go free.

I say, "Wooo! Go HP!"

[HystericalParoxysm]

Rose's recent arguments about her making her own meshes and textures and that making it hers, and others having used that argument, or at least bringing it up as a possible justification, was exactly why I asked about stuff made without their tools with completely original meshes and textures.  

Can't just slap a new windshield and a fresh coat of paint on a Ford and claim it's a Rose.

Of course, it wouldn't -stop- paysites and they'll just come up with yet another whiny excuse as to why they don't have to listen, and EA will do nothing, but it is very very nice to see it confirmed.

Question about the links to paysites on the official site in the community fansites section and whether or not paysites will be invited to any future EA functions... sent.

Just gotta tell you you've made my day, HP.

I can't deny I really really want to see the answers to those questions.:twisted:  

And kudos on making your other set of questions so unambiguous that no one's managed to twist or reinterpret them as allowing pay items.

Well, you COULD, but then the nice young men in their clean white coats will be coming to take you away, hah hah...


If it's cool with you, I'll add this to the 'EA's Stance' page at Money Better Spent.

You've got me mentally singing that now, Hec!



This is brilliant news. Well done!

[HystericalParoxysm]

Sure, Hecubus.  Go for it.  

[SparklePlenty]

HP, may I hot-link to that .jpg from the Sims2 Noir? (http://thesims2noir.celynoir.com) I really want to blog this.

[HystericalParoxysm]

You'll need to rehost, I think, as MYP has a non-referrermajigger.  But sure, I don't mind people going, "Hey, lookit this!" and it's just a Firefox screenshot, not a drawing or anything.  Go for it.  

[Apsalar]

Wee, this is wonderful! *dusts off the pirate speak translator to celebrate the moment*

Arr! Ye scallywags! Give me some rum smartly, me hearties, t' celebrate th' joyous occasion!

This is great stuff.  We now have everything in writing and can now sit back and watch paysites whine themselves to death

That is just too damn funny.

I actually would be very interested to see what Thomas has to say and how he will "lure" EA to paysites

[Chinchillagrl]

Sure, I'm lazy, but I will accept hugs and flowers nonetheless.  I think that's about the best statement on the whole subject we're gonna get from 'em.

Send HP a big hug and Flowers!

[Hecubus]

You know....I have that list of paysite email address at my site...maybe I should send them this - stir up the shit a bit.

[Paden]

Do it, do it, DO IT! This made my day, and now if you will excuse me, I'm off to bake some oatmeal/raisin cookies!
