Surprise, surprise…
Saturday, December 19th, 2009I’m not in the sharpest of moods right now, due to it being the day after Friday, so apologies for rambling incoherence.
Anyway, I got a public response to my pointed letter on paysites! Yay for corporate sincerity.

Well, the fact that we link to many of these sites ourselves, as you say, gives you the answer to part of your question: These sites aren’t doing anything wrong. Part of why The Sims is so dang popular is this ability to create and trade objects with other gamers. There are a ton of sites that do this completely for free, too, offering thousands of items at no cost at all. So, really, you don’t have to "put up" with anything. You can ignore the pay sites and go to the free ones. Or, make your own stuff and sell it yourself. Capitalism FTW! God Bless America!
