What would you do if EA oficially supports paysites?

We all know they'll probably never bother to do an official statemnt, for many reasons. But what would you do if they did anyway, in favour of paysites?

The last option for me: I'd close my site and let the community decide if they will put up with all their shit being pay. If more free sites follow, hopefully large ones like MTS2, Insimenator and such, it will make a huge impact.
Hopefully EA's customers decide that everything being pay aint that fun, a very large group of customers boycotting this might push EA to the other side, at least for Sims 3. Sims franchise is only succesfull because of it's customers, after all. Please your customers, get more money. Piss off your customers, get bent.

Do what you want cuz a pirate is free... I am a pirate! I'd keep supporting PMND openly, no matter what!

Even if EA gave paysites green light, I doubt they would help to protect the copyright to the creators' products and I really, really doubt many siteowners actually would drag their issues to court, no matter what they shout now... So as long as no one can touch me for supporting PMDB, sure (I'm poor. I couldn't even afford to ask a lawyer to say "Hi! How are you!" to me...)

I would also make sure to get all my EA products from very unofficial distributers from that day...  :evil:

Yep, I chose that too. Not gonna change my principles just because EA says so. *bites thumb at them!*

Hoyeah. I'd d/l all my games from that day on.

Well, I signed an EULA that made it clear to me, and no matter what, I'm sticking to that, and would continue to download booty - after all, it's still in Malaysia.

I think it's a good idea to close the free sites, and stop supporting EA if they are going to favour pay creators.  So many people say that the custom content is what keeps them going - and buying eps - so if EA comes out on the paysite side, they should suffer free site closure.

Same as the above posters. I'd play the game, keep supporting PMBD as openly as possible, and make sure that EA never got another nickle out of me. They're pissing me off with their stuff packs already, I mean... geez. Paying money, for a set of (often boring) clothes, and some items? Torrents ftw, I say.

Screw you guys I'd open a Paysite and and fund my brand new Mercedes. I'd also have the best rates in the community.. 99.99 for the first hour of downloading and 119.95 every hour there after.

Can I come ride in your Mercedes, even though I'm just a smelly pirate?

...that sounded WAY dirtier than I intended.

rofl... You can be my driver.

[Hekima]

I'll open a paysite that sells really ugly stuff for insane prices!

...after sending the content here.

Me 2. Seriously. Just not a mercedes. Aston Martin.  :wink:

[kathy]

o0o Let's join forces, double our prices and buy two.

[missnaughty]

I think I would still come here for the booty, possibly help to contribute if I could and I WOULD NOT BUY THE GAME AGAIN.  I will download The Sims 2 at warez sites cause if I really wanted to I could have done it already, but I wanted to be a good girl  :lol:

I would blow up EA Games headquarters.  I have had all the training I need with Red Alert!!!  :lol:

If they supported paysites they'd just be further proving themselves to be morons anyway (I'm still mad at them for putting spyware in Battlefield 2142), so screw 'em either way!

[Amazone]

I probably became a terrorist. Against EA. Nah, that's to go to far, but
i am not calling myself an amazon for nothing. Old female warriours.

I would boycott EA, download illegal games from internett.

[sherrie]

well if EA do decide to make it legal to claim their stuff as our own, then sure I'd make a paysite....

the sims 2 £49.99
all expansions £39.99 each
stuff packs £29.99 each
homecrafter £40.00
Bodyshop £20.00
plus subscriptions for exchange objects.

sure its a little more expensive than in the shops, but I'd have my freewebs site charges to think of.
