I'm sorry, but I'd say its only a portion of EA that does.  Plenty of evidence that Drea does, but then, as someone suggested, she might have been in charge of the invites for the creator camp too.

Quote from: minionsRmine
TSR is in cahoots with EA.

EA or certain Maxoids? If EA only wants a general accounting of what is happening in that division and it's Steve's pals who are supplying it to them, well, there's the problem right there. One corrupt paysite that has connections within the Sims division could be costing EA millions in the long run, but that's not what their hearing. Maybe we should send any and all relevant information to the board of directors.

Even if EA is helping T$R, they aren't helping them all that much; Save for turning a blind eye to the EULA violation.

EA is run extremely poorly. The Sims is a big money-maker for them, but so's their sports division, and they don't care about that community either. They are the most detached company I've ever seen. They don't know what's going on with paysites, and they like it that way. This is why TSR is able to exist, and it's why certain Maxoids can be paid under the table by an outside company which is hurting EA's bottom line.

Why not go to the media with it then?  If we can make the story sound attractive enough to the big names, they may decide to go to print with it.  Then EA is forced to deal with the issue because it will have gone public.

Has anybody else noticed IdiotDrea's modification to her post? I find it interesting that she felt the need to add a "no, really!" edit to her own post. If this really is coming from the "management and legal team", why exactly would they need (or want) to speak through somebody that can't even spell the word "please"?

Could always contact G4 with it, I suppose - if any media unit would be interested it would be them.

Yeah, if it's all so legit, why won't she name names?

I think it's because her middle name is "Chickenshit" maybe?

She might as well put 'Hi everyone,
Over the past several months, we’ve received questions about the End User License Agreement (EULA) that is in our games for The Sims 2 regarding custom content. Below is a statement from our Sims teamThomass and Steve at TSR. While there is no change to our End User License Agreement, we hope this clears up any confusion you might have regarding the EULA.
Thanks,
-MaxoidDrea

Maybe we could get Stephen Colbert to put TSR in his "Threat Down!", or at least on his notice board.

If Drea is that same Sims 3 Community manager or whatever she's called, did she pick the people who attended the creator's camp?
Drea has had some prominent role in the Creator's Camp business, although I am given to understand that some "Danforth"(?), or maybe "PanPan" person was the main contact. I'm pretty sure I have the name wrong, but it was someone other than Drea.

Oh, the possibility of more than one EA stooge being a TSR stooge as well is one I heartily entertain  -that or the person in charge asked around and was told TSr was awesomesauce by Drea.
