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

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!
You know, I was just about to post that exact same comment. Saves me the effort, I suppose.
I am getting more and more depressed - Securom, screwing me over for itty crappy bits of game content. I really want it to stop but the bastards bought Bioware too who make my other favourite game. There's a new NWN2 EP out later this year. I could live without sims but my favourite RPG?

Maxis used to give us a freebie once a week, once upon a time; it's sad to see that EAxis corporate greed has so far eroded the goodwill built from that time.
I find it really sad that we should look back on that as how it should be... Maxis used to update most weeks... usually on the day they said... their freebies were usually information or pictures... the item downloads were few and far between and then included in the next EP anyway.

Further back than that they used to give us freebies about once a week. Tuesday or Thursday, I think. I'm going back to early Sims 1 days.

Yeah, I was too... I had Sims 1 before they released the first EP... In any case I don't argue that it was better, I just wish people would stop using those few things as their excuse as to why they don't buy SPs. Sure there are good reasons, but Maxis giving us a few things free is not on the same page as people whining that the SPs, which any/all have more in them than was ever released "extra" for the first game, cost money.

I refuse to buy SPs on principle. I've never even ARRed them b/c the idea of them disgusted me. It was a telling sign of what was to come. And I guess I was right.
