All I can think of at the moment is how is Lyric going to find enough dirt on this person to convince us they are evil?

Well, a maxoid countered that with, "The jury is still out because legal hasn't said or done anything yet."

Quote
Last, but not least: Paysites

The final word on this subject comes from EA Legal. Unless you hear it from EA Legal, then you haven't heard it at all. No one can interpret anything from Legal, but legal.

I don't know about you guys, but I've seen the legal team and they are no joke. I don't pretend to know how to do their job and I don't comment on issues their working on. It's not my place. I'm not a lawyer. I help you guys and I make cool stuff.

Our legal team is aware of A LOT of things. Things we don't know about and sometimes things we can't discuss. The BBS is not the place to start drama. This type of discussion never results in anything nice being said. Peoples feelings are always hurt, that's not cool.

It's not my place, nor yours to do EA Legal's job. They are aware of what's going on and both you and I are in the same boat. Everyone has to wait.

In the meantime, we'll keep running the BBS like it always has. This is a place to share ideas, come together to have fun and talk about why you love The Sims2.

So while I dislike being the bearer of bad news, observe this as a warning. If you bring the drama to my boards, you better be prepared to deal with the llama.

This llama does not dig drama.

Unless it comes in the form of reality tv, because I just can't stop watching it. I know it isn't healty, but it's so much fun!

P.s. Whew! I always try to spellcheck, but in case I've made a grammatical error, my apologies.

I don't care what Maxisdude says, if you look at the date, this was confirmed AFTER the above statement. They obviously don't work together, and obviously EA legal doesn't give a rats ass what this person has to say.

That's his opinion though, but honestly I always fail to see how in the end this matters much.  We have over the years collected many similar letters.  Nothing is ever done to prevent paysites or to stop us from distributing thier files.  I could be mistaken, but I have very little faith anything will happen with this.

It juist confirms to me that this is 100% real, and that things are starting to move. Don't worry, it might be the start for Sims 3 at least.

The lack of professionalism in that maxoids little address does not inspire much confidence.

Oh, I am not advocating at all what the maxoid is saying.  I'm just sharing what's out there.

EA Maxis certainly isn't showing a united front against paysites.. yet.

that comment from the sims 2 was by a Sim master, not a maxoid. sim masters are not employed by ea/maxis so they have no idea what really goes on even if they want to pretend they do. maxoids are the only people that even have the right to speak on behalf of ea. sim masters are simply people that ea thought might do a decent job a moderating that shitty BBS, as you can see they are terrible mistaken. sim master drama llama is an idiot and her posts and bannings calling out members is enough to confirm it. she has no info in ea legal at all.


EDIT- Dude, i swear there is one there that has a blue haired avatar and she is simmasterdramallama, lol. i hate her and her goddamned blue hair, she is the epitome of...uh, i just cant stand her

"This llama does not dig drama."  :lol:  I'm sorry.  I just had a Breakfast Club flashback.  "You mess with the bull you get the horns."

Thanks for the news Noukie.

The drama aint over.

May I suggest asking the following:

"If I were to use products of my own to create items for the sims, am I stil entitled to sell these, even though I am using .package to make them possible to be used within the game. Is this legal for me to sell them? Or is it against the law to sell them when they have been made "useable" for game use?"

Or something along those lines.

THAT is what paysites are arguing about. The fact is, they dont ALL use Homecrafter/Bodyshop etc to make their products, they use 3D programs etc.

So we need confirmation if them using other products, but then turning them into .package (useable form for the game) is legal or illegal.

As it all boils down to that.

I am highly against paysites, but that is the little cloud they are hiding behind right now, and we NEED to know if that is illegal or not. We cannot keep saying that what they are doing is illegal 100% until we know 100% for sure that they are- as I said, it all boils down to what EA says about it.

And finding out that one little thing could show more.

Sorry if im not making great sense, but its freezingcold here and typing is hard lol, and im tired >< (even though its 12:24pm in the arvo..)

Actually DramaLlama is a Maxoid- they are employed by EA, they are just one of the developers stuck with the task of watching the BBS with other Simmasters when they arent needed for coding/developing.

Pirate Gem, once you put your creation into .package format, it is EA Maxis'.  It's as simple as that.

They could sell obj and texture files and it would be legal.
