So they're gonna do what exactly should someone decide not to bother with their EULA?  Please tell us, TSR, what kind of asshattery do you plan to perpetrate should someone not honor your EULA like you shat all over EA's for years?

Donations for their own mess no one wanted from them in the first place...get the fuck out of the community, you revolting money-whore douchebags.

Anyone care to guess as to who these 2 full time programmers are of their program?

From what I understand these people are not part of the Sims community at all; just a couple of (I admit very talented) programmers they hired off of the street - probably freelancers. I know that Johan is responsible for decompiling the parts of the game that they haven't been able to steal from others while the programmers are working on the UI and 3D import/export and preview functions.

Edit to add moar:
So far three people have commented; all have donated. Sad

God give me strength.  Do they have to do what they are told every time. This will only get worse, I honestly believe that Thomas & Co will not be able to keep their money lust at bay on this one.  Donations will never be enough for them.  The community has already paid for this with the vast profits TSR has made out of their subs.  All I can say is if people keeping bending over so easily they deserve to be fucked.

Of course TSR is going to say that. I have a hard time believing its just someone they hired off the street. I know i have my bets on as to who they are.

Love the Whitless Houston graphic Kenmtl  Cheesy I found those a few days ago and snagged them all.

People should also be more than a little concerned about what TSR will do once their competition (both free and pay) have downloaded and installed a tool that, at one point, came complete with a hidden keylogger. Given Thomass' sketchy, self-serving behavior in the past, there's absolutely no way that any good will come of this.

I would fully expect anything that Kate at Parsims, Jope and Suza at Simply Styling, NaziroPilar at Sims Control , Simenapule, SimsCri and any other free  creator using TS3W creates for Sims 3 to be posted as Shakeshaft or some other FA's work at TSR  in no short order if there are still little nasties left in there which I have no doubt there is.

Lovely. Who does TSR think they are, soliciting donations when they are a "professional" business? I at least hope those programmers are being paid a fair wage.

No mention of links to MTS, Peter and Inge's sites, Echo, Wes, anybody else who did the vast majority of the initial research and library development.  What a bunch of assholes.
I find it interesting that they actually needed all that help and came to those people saying "this is all new so lets all be friends and work together on this" considering,

The Sims Resource has invested heavily in TSR Workshop with 2 full time programmers working on it since before the game released in June 2009 ...


Unfortunately I just donated to my cable company for the wonderful service they provide the community so I'll have to pass. I'm still considering donating to my landlord but I'm not totally decided yet.

*shakes his head in dismay*  Unbelievable.  It can be considered a bad thing if it causes me, a normally calm person to want to give Thomass a punk rocker massage [AKA a beatdown with drumsticks].  Not going to visit the TSR again and won't be using their tool IF I ever go up to Sims 3 and want to make stuff for the Sims 3

Frankly, I prefer that we give him an old-fashioned Basic Training style blanket party, but I really wouldn't want to get that close to anywhere that thing sleeps.

I have a nice list of things I would like to donate to TSR - money isn't one of them- especially not for a tool that is known to contain a keylogger that could potentially give unethical TSR employees access to all of your content, your file hosting, and image hosting accounts, and your credit card and paypal information on sites you shop at like Amazon and Lush- nope

I'm pretty certain it goes back to what coconut pointed out -

Quote from: coconut
...letting the community think they are contributing to the development and putting “trusted free community faces” to spearhead the campaign, and to get the trust of the free community.

After they secure that trust they may then have to play nice for a little while (if you exclude the WB and ShanOw incidents), but ultimately Thomass will take whatever leverage having The Sims3 tool affords him and use it to secure his position as King of Sims3 Content.

As far as him asking for donations on top of subscriptions, I think it's totally in character for a greedy asshole with money to act like a greedy asshole who needs even more money.
