Check it out here: http://www.insightexpress.com/ix/Survey.aspx?id=135766&accessCode=0112155630&uid=1&resetposition=true

The link was posted at N99. Honestly, can EA ever stop finding ways to suck?

They're talking about setting up an online official store to buy downloads from!! They mention sites like TSR, Peggy and Holy Simoly. The only free site was Parsimonous. Gah! They wanted to find out how much people would pay for downloads. Please excuse me while I vomit.

Taking the survey, filling it out in a "I'm not paying for MOAR fugly Maxis shit in my game," manner. And...


I'm really not sure if I should keep it checked or not

[fway]

Oh man. What are they trying to accomplish? EA is going against their on EULA? That's preposterous! I answered $0 to pay for content and 0 on how much stuff I would buy at a price.

Bastardous EA! They can go to hell! MOAR room for the booty!

Dammit! Why didn't I take screenshots?    Someone else, please do. I was really in shock about it.

I just finished that survey and it really pissed me off.  What a bunch of idiots!

[Anouk]

They're not breaking any EULA, it's their own content.

I'm taking screenshots as I go. I'll post them as soon as I can, but my internet is being a PITA right now so it might be a while before I get them uploaded.

Everything about that survey was completely skewed to get the responses that they want to get. It doesn't even provide a comment section, or any sort of way to state that you are against paying anything for content. I wish I had taken screenshots, too, but I was too angry as I took the survey to pause long enough for that.

I took one more screen shot before I finished:


3 paysites + 1 freesite... They must not care about the EULA at all, just money [not surprising].

[Paleoanth]

I just made it clear by using 0's that I was not interested in paying for any content.

[Redikolous]

I took the survey too.  That survey is skewed.

[Sarafina]

Way for EA to really just show off how much of money hungry douche-bags they are.  DO NOT WANT!

[SamanthaS]

I just made it clear by using 0's that I was not interested in paying for any content.

Me too. And I left the Fansite one unchecked when I figured out there wasn't any way to write in the Fansites I do go to (note: it ain't TSR or Peggy).

[TimeStop]

JOY! MORE PAYSITES!

really, just what we all needed. EA selling downloads is the equivalent of not only allowing but endorsing paysites.

[redisenchanted]

Guess they're done now, the survey is closed. I hope enough people with brains took the thing.
