EA Games Business Plans and Making Mo' Money

[Soup Parrot]

You know  they may not be handling the Sims right with the paysites, but when i had a problem with the Sims 2 site downloading my preorder they were prompt, and made sure Amazon.com corrected the link quickly too. And most the people creating the game, seem to take a lot of pride and love for the series. I was watching the new walkthrough the two producers this time were Women to . And look at the new EP thats coming out, while its a remake of Vacation, I thought they were on a roll with it, and got creative with some aspects of it. I cant wait to see the next EP. They are taking their time with Spore too not rushing it out. SO EA is not all bad.

Is the new video posted on the exchange? Or did you find that on Youtube? I saw the Spore video with Robin Williams I thought that was really cute, although I don't think he should play it often. lol

While we are on the topic of EA, you would think that SOME communication does happen....but maybe not.

when I try to Play I get a broken QT
when I dld and try to play a "broken movie atom" box appears


is anyone else finding this to be the case

[Captain Feathersword]

Bah.
I tried to watch it and it told me I needed QuickTime. Bugger that. I've tried to live with QT before and I loathe that it auto installs iTunes with it. I choose my own software thank-you very much Mr Jobs. Stop trying so hard to be Bill. You missed that boat a long time ago.

Actually I don't see that.  It says in the first post you linked to that, "We were unable to get this EULA change in Bon Voyage but we are working to have the edits reflected in future games." So it makes sense that the BV EP has the other EULA.  Unless I am missing something here.  Which is always a possibility.

They may have been unable to change it for BV, but they have been quite able to change it for the Video's. Homecrafter, Bodyshop you can download those all right from the Exchange. Yet the only thing that has changed is the one thing you can't create content with. The content manager. These EULA's have been updated if you compare them to the old ones, that you can find on any of your games including Seasons. Even the one they point too. Point blank says you will not be given copyright over anything you make with their tools, or that goes into their game in layman's terms. The updated ones for all the tools that are used for creating CC, are all updated on the exchange and they all still say non-commercial. The only thing on the Exchange you can get that doesn't say anything about commercial/non commercial is the CC tool. So I am still counting the days for a paysite to make us some downloadable CC with it.
