Offical Site Interviews Windkeeper

*silent moment of mourning for HappyMoonBelly* 'Tis a sad day when they become a Maxiod, there's no cure for them then.

[Pirate tARRt]

HappyMoonBelly has become a Maxoid..? Meh, I loved her stuff! =(

[shinyfairylights]

From what I remember, she actually started working at EA right after the 'Sims Played By' campaign.

Yeah, looking at her Sims page, it says she started working there a while ago in her bio.

[pinksmoke]

She is. That really sucks. Since Parsimonious was the first truly free site I found, and I loved the houses. Also, if I'm not wrong, SalixTree's also doing the H&M Fashion Runway thing?

[Renegade]

I don't see how it hurts anything that she is a free creator at Parsimonious but a Maxoid on the TS2 site.

I do see it as a problem, however, when she is interviewing a paysite creator, especially as a Maxoid.

I agree with that. Hasn't she been a Maxoid for over a year or something now? I'm sure it's been quite a while anyway. Maybe the interviews are part of her job though, if someone is assigning her to do them she can hardly refuse. She's done one with Judie from All About Style before and they're a free site

...maybe I am just reading this differently, but it seems fine to me.

I have absolutely no problem with HappyMoonBelly being a Maxoid, and the interview is yes with a paysite creator but its not actually focused on that....its focused on creating not paysites.

And what Kariana just said, she also has interviewed free creators

[deelink]

Is being a Maxoid bad??

I always thought that the people that work for Maxis hit or miss in their design department, but at least they make/are a part of a game that I really really love.

I just wish people concentrated more on content and making the game fun, rather than looking at the fanbase with little dollar signs in their eyes. It makes me so ill...

*gobbles 85% Cocoa Lindt Chocolate* Ah thats better...

*drowns it down with rum*
The really horrid thing is I hate the EA site and refuse to download any "exclusive" items. I think that is so against the fans! Especially the ones who don't have Internet Access. Hisss.

Windkeeper has posted on her thread at the TSR forums, so it looks like she is back.

By the way, I think it's GOOD that community creators actually work for EA...maybe that's why some of the BV items don't suck!

[redisenchanted]

Why would we have anything against HappyMoonBelly? She was always free, made good stuff when no one else was, her association with Parsimonous was a good thing, it's a great, free site.

The interviews she's done have been with really good creators. All About Style is a totally free site. Even though Windkeeper is a pay creator, her stuff is top-notch. I'm glad she's back. I'd be happier if she left that stinking crap-hole TSR has become, but meh her stuff will be in the booty.

[LilyLocksley]

I think I read to much into The fact that HappyMoonBelly was doing the interview. I was under the impression that she sought out the interview, or something like that. I have no idea where I got the idea from, since I just read back through this thread it nothing like that is ever said. I am sorry, I should pay more attention sometimes.

[Rae Kira]

In case anyone wants a screencap because they're too lazy or whatever to get to TSR, I am here to help.

Yeah...that's how I feel too. While it's understandable to see how it can be portrayed as selling out, it's good that they're paying attention to the fact that there's a lot of good custom creators out there that could help make the EA content better.

[Paden]

I'm sad that she's a Maxoid because that means she's not doing much creating herself, it seems. I miss her stuff, it was always funky and I loved it. And if Windkeeper is coming back, that's good too, but wish she was going to be free. With our luck, she'll be creating for TSR again.
