As ‘lol’ correctly predicted, the new announcement from TSR will be about Wes H. TSR plan to announce that they are adding Wes H ( as staff ) to the development team for Merlin. Tom hopes that this will ‘rock the free community’ in some way.
And to answer your question, the plugins will NOT carry a TOU preventing their use on payfiles.
Back In February I wrote an article entitled Secrets Lies and Shady Dealings. In the shady dealings section I wrote about the TSR sims 3 tool, to refresh, here is an excerpt from my article..
“TSR is confident that the launch of The Sims 3 will secure its monopoly. EA have allegedly given their blessing for TSR to make it’s own exclusive meshing/CC tools. TSR are hopeful that they will have the tools ready shortly after the launch date and be the first to have such a tool. They plan to make the tool available for FA use only and not sharable with any other creators throughout the community, thus making TSR the only site to offer true CC for TS3, and therefor taking most, if not all, of the market. This is to be kept secret as they know this will piss off not only free creators, but other paysites as well, ( so don’t tell anyone or they may sue you! ) As a site that makes barking mad amounts of money using the tools created by other community members, this is a selfish and greedy move by TSR, but are you really surprised? I am not entirely convinced this is with EA’s full blessing as TSR claim, but EA must have provided them with ’something’ to work with as they say they have made a lot of headway already with this project. Did EA provide the freesite reps attending the camp with the same?”
Since this article TSR has suddenly backtracked on their unpopular plan, and while now admitting they have been working on it all this time, they have suddenly decided to give the tool to everyone for free! But at what cost..
This is the first of 2 articles for today.
Here is a minor TSR drama I have been following for a while now, I have not published this earlier as I was interested to see how this one panned out without any of those involved using this blog as an excuse for their actions either way.
Welcome to all the new readers who have found their way here after ‘googling’ names and phrases found on TSR’s ’statement’ Listed below are the myths, lies and truths of that statement.
I can only comment on the recent events involving the theft of a free creators mesh and TSR’s hacking of of a Mod the Sims 2 user account from what I and my contacts personally know. I can not comment at this stage on evidence I have not seen, nor any evidence that seemingly changes the more Delphy talks to Steve.
Atwa launches a blistering attack on TSR Mods and Staff and asks that people write to Tom and DEMAND her reinstatement as Artist Manager!
Tom, Steve & Co are very fond of bragging how many members they have at TSR, but we have to ask just how many of those members are willing members? We have heard time and time again of people asking to have their accounts deleted only to have been ignored or refused. I know there have been literally hundreds of support issues where people have asked that their accounts be deleted but they all still remain. WHY? If TSR is as popular as they want you ( and EA ) to think, would they really care about a few deleted accounts? In truth it is far more than just a few, if members had the power to delete their own accounts, and if TSR deleted all the banned accounts, their member numbers would paint a very different picture.
Here are some more submitted screencaps, These feature email rants from atwa to another former TSR member discussing a range of things from general trouble stirring to FA pay. These were submitted here by Paleoanth, and originally submitted to her for use in her blog. ( You need to be a member to read. )
Another reason why not to subscribe to TSR.
What happens when a very loyal sub paying customer has so many errors downloading, it is impossible for them to receive the downloads they have PAID for? Any legitimate business would issue a refund, but we are talking about TSR, who replies “According to our terms and conditions we will not give you a refund”
