Anyone take the lastest survey on the Sims 2 web page?

I am never buying anything with EA on it again.
I just bought 10 Wii and GameCube games. Not an EA title in the lot, and that was intentional. They've already lost out on $$$ from me from BV on for the Sims; they aren't getting a cent from me for anyone else. I've also been actively seeking titles from Ubisoft, since they hate each other.

Maybe it is some preparation for the Sims3 site EA is planning. MTS2 has already stated that they will not be having a site to support Sim3 items. It is questionable as to whether any current site will support Sims3.
This could be another option EA sees to profit and control meshes.

Oh, and I hope EA thinks about how many tweens have a method of paying for their content online.
It does seem that this would be problematic for EA. But then, I remember reading somewhere that TS2 is mainly played by adults (can't remember where I read this, so it may be a lie), so perhaps they think charging for downloads is worth the risk of alienating the tween users (and the tweens probably secretly want to be alienated. It gives them more things to be emo about).
Personally I would never pay for EA downloads. I think the only crap I've nabbed from their downloads are the scissors anyway. I have all the EPs but haven't bought one since OFB. After I'd spent $200+ I felt like I'd given the company enough. It's EA payment-fatigue. There is only so much I'm willing to spend on my pixel dollhouse.

I wonder why they didn't mention MTS... :P
Why would they? Because it's a FREE site, that doesn't hold CC for ransom behind 'subscriptions' and 'donation gifts'.

Yes-that is quite a problem..how many tweens have credit cards, anyway? I'm going to assume payment is by credit cards, and I don't know how many mommies and daddies are going to give little darling theirs for the privilege of downloading crap. I certainly wouldn't waste my money on such shit.
Several questions on the survey were related to payment for their crap. Some of the options were buying points online via credit card or through PayPal, or by purchasing a points card in a game shop. I wish I could say I'm surprised EAxis wants to milk the content cash cow even further by considering doing this but I'm not. I'm just thoroughly disgusted. $0.50 for a wallpaper or a rug? Fuck off!
