Well it's nice to see that they've decided to put on their big girl panties and be mature about it all. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be seen as petty.

Ok question. Who do they think they're actually hurting?

The whole ungrateful sims community no doubt. Maybe Marvine who had the audacity to have all the talent and none of the hubris or asshattery.

I don't know if this has been posted here yet or not, I couldn't see it, but EA has put a notice up about the EULA on the main page, linking to the post that Drea made.

http://thesims2.ea.com/news/detail.php?id=1708

Not much of an announcment I'm afraid.

Gesh, let's continue to be wishy-washy.  They might as well say, "We can't change the EULA, then you basically resell the game.  But we really really love Thomas and Steve, so we're going to make this vauge statement and hope you buy it. " 

You can't have it both ways, EA.  Either it's all right or it's not.

I love the 'I'm not posting this without the permission of our sims team which includes management and legal.'

Either she's lying, or their legal department got their degrees out of a box of cracker jacks.

"Sims legal team"? What? It's EA's legal team that matters. What, they have a separate legal team for each game? That sounds... unlikely.

And even if this "legal team" got their degrees out of Cracker Jack boxes, they cannot void parts of a contract retroactively, and if they say we can ignore one part of the contract, then we get to say we ignore other parts too.

I notice they aren't going to add that to the EULA.  I read that as if you buy it you own it, so do with it what you will.  Awesome! I'll post up pay items for free.  Thank you for your permission EA! Grin

Actually, get a pay item from the store. Recolor it the teensiest bit. You are now an artist and may do with it what you will.

Reverse engineer the expansion packs. Change the descriptions of one item in each of them. Re-package and re-sell them.

Yeah, there is no way a legal team okay'd this statement if they know what's actually behind it, and if they realize the intent is not to charge to pay for bandwidth, but to charge for and make a profit from .package files.

Thomas has offered extra incentive money to FA’s who post about Drea's statement in their blog!? Now come on Coconut, why didn't most of the FAs post about it in their blogs then? I thought they all were money hungry.
I think you should either admit that this is a lie or prove it:)

Somehow I don't think anyone involved, EAxis, Drea, A$$, Steven, and whatever other buttlicker du jour will be able to get the reaction they want from us because they are too scared to do exactly what it would take to get it down.  EAxis would have to police the exchange constantly, which they don't have the time to do.  Saying "it's really ok" without an actuall legal change to the EULA can't exactly stop the signal.

Well Dime since these FAs all posted around the same day, I'd say that Coconut was spot on again. Go back to TSR!


I love it when people like Dime go, "hah hah gotcha!" They are so ignorant that their "gotchas" never have any substance, but you'll never convince them of that.

I'm going to steal some of the missing stuff off of asshat BBBs site and upload it to Insim.

Edit: Done, some of the stuff should be on insim now.

Yeah, there were times when she proved that she's right with screenshots. But that doesn't mean everything she says is true. Now coconut, shame on you! People here trust you, why'd you lie to them? And why do you keep deleting my comment on your site? Because you can't prove anything?
