answer the question.... how do you feel by the idea that no one will share their stuff anymore?
Have you ever seen MTS2 or any community download site? People are sharing things, for free, every day. It might not be the best stuff, but people are sharing it and hopefully learning to improve
for free.
The Sims is so successful because it is entirely customizable. Custom content keeps the game in business, one could say. The community supports this by providing the necessary tools at an irresistible price of $0. Paysites exclude downloaders who aren't willing or able to pay, but they create their often shitty things because of the work the community has done, and because the community allowed this work to be shared.
eta: Damn...too slow.
