EA Exchange Stupidity

We've been receiving a lot of great content uploaded to our Exchange and Movies & More. To make sure the items stay fresh we've implemented a culling script that will remove older items. For those of you who are not familiar with culling - it is when uploads, Stories and Movies are automatically removed from the Exchange and Movies & More when they do not do well (not getting enough downloads and recommendations).The more Recommends and Downloads you have, the better. Exchange uploads, Stories, and Movies will be subject to culling after 2 weeks if it does not do well. Searching for content will be easier with culling turned on and awesome uploads will have even more of a chance to shine.

If an Exchange item, Story, or Movie is Featured, it will never be culled.

Thanks again for sharing your creativity with the rest of the community, and Keep creating fabulous content to get those downloads, views and recommendations in!

Wow. That is just stupid. Deleting users hard work just because the Exchange is filling up? It's sad that someone thinks that is a good idea. The reason that download counts are low is because the meter that registers how many times an item has been download is broken so everything has 0. Is EA WANTING to lose more customers now?

J. M. Pescado:
I don't think this is stupid. Why should EA waste drive space storing every piece of lousy floodfill people upload, especially as not a single piece of content on the exchange is actually ORIGINAL, since EA does not provide the tools needed to create any of it?

ElectricSimmer:
Well maybe EA could focus on developing those tools instead of finding ways to make users unhappy. I don't use the exchange much anyway since it's slow and never shows anything decent. ModTheSims is the superior site.

catsahoy:
The premise would be stupid if the masses who use the exchange were 12s who vote up their friends' flood-fills.

Err ... you actually WANT EA to make Bodyshop for TS3 knowing that chances are they will fuck up the Launcher once again as a byproduct?
