1. EA paid for the coverage.

Why are you surprised?

2. Of course, they paid for the coverage. They OWN the content. They have always owned the content on anything Sims related.

3. I don't know..I'm getting a bit tired of our homegrown moral guardians painting our more realistic uncensored depictions of peoples fantasies as the "dark side". Guys...except for the monetary transfer in and out of SL..it's a fantasy..not real..no one can be hurt or maimed by what they see or do here, or any other virtual world. It is not dark or light or anything. It's not a case of whether you like it or not. Whenever you offer people free reign to realize their fantasies you will get this..if it does not look like this, or something very similar, it is not your imagination..it is your imagination as constricted by the least imaginative person of the least imaginative rl culture. Revel in the "dark" things that make you cringe...as long as they exist that means there is still some level of freedom.

4. Remember before Secondlife, there was the SIMS. You have to buy it, and the Sims 2 (software wise) compared to the very buggy Secondlife, is very stable.

The Sims 2 has a great program for creating objects and clothes. HM is a company that has invested in a clothing line. You may not know it, but the Sims are here to stay. It may not be Online Compatible as of now, but there has been fashion creaters and there websites dedicated to the art of it. You can sell your clothes and objects and all upgrades to the expansion pack are optional.

EA is here to stay for-and do well with marketing.
Linden Lab, needs to learn a few tricks from them.
