Go to T$R, find a pay item, and mouse over the key icon in the top right hand corner. It says "this content is for subscribers only." Nuff said.

If this was an e-mail response to someONE then I highly doubt it is official. If someone else sent in the same question they would probably get a different reply. Also, if you read closely enough, he didn't really answer the question.

Edit: Afterthought

If someone can prove that TSR attaches spyware to their files, couldn't they press charges? EA got in trouble with SuckUROM, and that's a parallel situation.

Sadly we've cultivated a generation of slackers.

*12 sees word 'cultivated' and neglects to read the rest of the sentence*

A well deserved punishment. Why would you hope that someone gets cancer over pixels? He'll probably rant about this somewhere else and blame us for his stupidity.

Off Topic : When did BBB become an FA at TSR? I guess I missed something

That "Shopping" song that they dredged up from Sims 1

For any paysite trolls 

Exactly! Unless it has the letters Atty. or CEO after the name, it means nothing.

That's exactly what's wrong about the "statement", it can be taken out of context ( whatever that is) and stretched anyway someone wants to pull it, as can be seen in numenor's post.

That's assuming that they'll even have a BBS for TS3. I can see them deciding not to have one in an attempt to stifle bad publicity and negative feedback. They already ignore their customers, and not having a BBS would just make it easier for them to do so.

Some of the12s that posted on BBS without reading the whole thing make me worry about the future of this country

Anyway, Maxoid Drea's and the "Sims Team" (WTF?) statement is a new level of epic fail for SO many reasons.

1. EA didn't make this statement, Maxoid Drea and the "Sims Team" did. Unless it comes from the mouth of any of the EA big shots or their lawyers, that "statement" has no weight to it whatsoever. Not only that, but if it were a truly valid statement, it would be more than 2 paragraphs long and it would not be posted solely on BBS. Fail.

2. It's OK to violate the EULA? Great! I'm sure EA will be thrilled when they see people freely dishing out cracked versions of their games, since that's OK now Maxoid Drea needs to be ready to lose her job over that one.

3. "Those terms should be respected by other players."  Should: a terrible word to use when you are trying to mandate something. Should means that, while it would be nice, we don't HAVE TO do it. It is also very, very, vague. These "artists" should respect the EULA, but they don't ( but that's OK now ). These "artists" should respect the their patron's right to share their content and not place malicious files in said content to prevent it. The list goes on. Fail!

4. WTH is the "Sims Team"? I can have a few of my friends watch me post and call them the "Sims Team". Fail!

This "statement " does absolutely NOTHING and is just another opinion post in the paysite debate. Waste of energy. *Gets off soap-box*

Whoever made those toilets should hack them so that vomiting is an option on the actions menu. Not only can I imagine my sims barfing at the sight of those things, it would look cool to see them stick their heads in the monsters' mouth

That's probably a result of breeding Chaz's fugly celebrity sims.

I had to turn down my screen resolution to safely view that nursery.....

Oh, I thought it was just me
