That's old news but thank you for posting it in the appropriate thread, Watergirl.

Haven't been in here too much, so must have missed this news.  Good to see it closing.

That Carnival site looks interesting... and well designed... it would have just been nice if they could have, oh, I don't know, come up with their own damn slogan...

"Create them. Play them. Even share them...the games are in your hands!"

I'm glad EA Land closes. From what I read on the blog they had only one person who approved fanstuff, so a lot of stolen content popped up in the game. Whenever one of the original artists came and complained EA just deleted the fanstuff with no compensation for the buyers.
If I had spent 150$ of my real money to buy custom content just to come back to my house later and find nothing but worthless placeholders because the cc became disapproved... oh boy, I can't understand how people could stick to that game for so long!

For someone who worked "so closely" with EA on this TSR kept a rather low profile in the blog, Simfreaks was much more prominent. I also noticed a fat EA Land banner on Simfreaks1 lately. Guess there's more than one paysite crying about lost profits now.

I got into the beta for Sims Carnival, it's rather eh in my opinion.

Why is "EA-Land" still up? wtf is it? I don't understand it...don't think I WANT to.  Sims Carnival has absolutely NOTHING to do with Sims (surprise, surprise). And I'm getting quite sick and tired of seeing the Sims name slapped onto any and everything.  TheSimsOnStage used to be Singshot.com, and after EA teamed up with them to do a contest involving singing Lily Allen's "Smile" in Simlish, they ate it up entirely.

I don't understand EA-Land but the name itself guarantees I would have stayed away, anyway.  Did TSR lose a lot of money? plz say yes.  And, more importantly, will this prevent a possible EA-TSR "reunion" in the future?

Real life (though there is no such thing) was holding me hostage, but I managed to escape So now I'm slowly getting back into things and reading what's been going on while I've been gone.  This "EA-Land" filth shocked me but I'm glad to learn it has now melted into a pile of fail
