Ooh, she quietly went MILITANT. I see On Sims Vault, she's posting a few bits for her oldie oldie stuff for free, but other than that....

Yeah, a good friend of mine is on a semi-professional HalfLife 2 mods team, I don't play HalfLife myself, but the stuff they make is bloody incredible, right up to the standards of official maps...they make no money from it at all, unless someone chooses to commission them, and then, well, there's a reason it's a team, there's like, 15 of them, all of them working hard on their respective bits for months on end, to create this realy good end-result...they get paid, once, to split among all of them, but they do it because they love doing it, and for enough experience to get together a portfolio to actually GET a job with a games company, not just bashing something out in Photoshop (I have no skill, I appreciate creating content isn't actually as simple as that, but you get what I'm saying...) and expecting a whole community to pay over and over...

her stuff isnt actually that bad. i use her lost floors and walls all the time and her recolors of the pet stuff is pretty good. (don't take this as me defending her cause i'm not) Alas, I agree, I have her lost walls and floors in my game and use them all the time....saying that, she didn't make those, she just found them... But anyways, yes, hooray!! Someone somewhere saw sense, be it her or other sources....

Now...back to the matter at hand. RetailSims went overboard with announcing to the whole sims world that she was depressed and so on. However what she is doing with her site is perfectly reasonable. I've read somewhere that she's going to make the content, upload pics but not upload the files. Which honestly, if i was a paysite owner i'd do too.
That doesn't sound at all ridiculous to you? Making content and sharing pics so people can then beg her for them, only for her to say, "Sorry, I found out a site is sharing my content so until they take it down, I'm holding my shit hostage." Exactly, doing things that way is not productive to anyone, least of all herself, it's just a ploy for attention and begging for the stuff, to stroke her slightly dented ego. Think of it in some kind of weird business sense (I's been playing OFB today, ohyes ), it's like, if she had a cake, a lovely, lovely cake, that she'd made, and then she sold the cake to someone, and that someone gave some of that cake to their friends (and they also said 'Oh, dude, this nice cake was made by retailsims, not me). Then SHE said 'Hey, that was my cake!! I'm never making any more cake for anyone!!', then went home, made another cake, with chocolate frosting, brought it out, waved it under all HER friend's noses and said 'MYNE!! This cake is not yours and you can have none, cos the other people shared my last cake with their friends!!' ....now I'm hungry.

*leaps up and down* IE SUCKS, AND....oh. Damn your pre-empting-my-scorn ways!! This site gives advice about that sort of thing, with advice for various.....things....Couldn't find any IE-specific programs though...>.< I think it's the right thing that I'm supposed to be talking about, I don't share Pescado's rampant paranoia, and only got RefControl so I could see pictures from sites that don't like hotlinking.....>.>

Well, it might be coincidence and just happened at the 'right' time, but they did indeed announce it with some class, rather than acting like by going free, they were some sort of hyper-generous gods, giving the community more than we deserve...good on them!

Once there was a lizard in my kitchen. Only it looked like a snake...Yes. The internets told me it wasn't a snake, but a legless lizard. *strokes chin thoughtfully*
