My Response From EA Regarding Selling My Custom Content

[missnaughty]

I posted this message there http://forums.sims2community.com/showpost.php?p=890953&postcount=111  

and got a strange pm from someone called Blondmermaid.  I wondered if she knew or owned the site?

Her email was like eh ah eh no no how do you know blah blah, so I just said well it was calculated by someone at THE SITE THAT MUST NOT BE NAMED!  and left it at that.  Oh and I checked and the objects alone on Vitasims must be near to $200 dollar and thats just objects!!

Blondmermaid is the site owner.

Funny she emailed you about that post. Did she think she could argue against plain fact?

I've been noticing, that's exactly what some people try to do. Makes me laugh every time. Well, I am easily entertained.  :lol:

It's not like she couldn't figure it out for herself....start with the number of sets available (you can count right on the site), and multiply. Surely even SHE could figure that out...even with currency conversions courtesty of xe.com.

Sheesh, some peoples is dumb. Or in utter denial.

but paysites (and yes, TSR...EA's little buddy) claim they arent selling items per se, but "access" to the site for "bandwidth" purposes

Ah, but their copyright statements tell a different story...heh. And don't let 'em fool ya....they're selling.

Even disregarding TSR, there are many, many sites that straight-out say, "You can buy," or "price per item," or "buy the whole set." etc. Carla Niven comes to mind. So does OpenHouseJack.

Has anyone dared to copy/paste that letter at TSR? 'Cause that would be fun, if it didn't get deleted within seconds.

Also, an OT question: When does Sims 3 come out? I so can't wait to see that.

I read that on a german site that its late 2008 in the USA and early 2009 in Europe.
