#because 'EA should be providing these cc disability aids' or whatever is a totally reasonable thing to expect of individual players

I know I’m trying to vent less here but god do I wanna complain about the sims 4 community because it has such incredibly terrible viewpoints on money and labour and it is increasingly draining on me to not just open up the subreddit and tell them they’re all wrong lmao :’)

#specifically making custom content is a HUGE thing #explicitly allowed by EA #not just to make it but to charge money for early access #i.e. you host content on patreon and patrons get it a week or two early #a LOT of people do that and make money that way #there also used to be a lot of straight-up paid CC but EA finally clarified last year they don't want that #obviously this is a really great way for people capable of 3d modeling to make extra money #especially since you don't need great language skils and there are a lot of international cc makers #so you'd think the community would like. be happy abt poor people being able to make money. esp from poorer countries. #especially since it's really not hard to download cc you can't currently afford so there aren't exactly real restrictions on it #N O P E #they fuckin. HATE people who make money off CC. with a burning righteous fiery rage!!!!!! #anyone who at any point had pure paid CC is the lowest of the low #and god forbid you make cc that they think they were already entitled to from EA #because 'EA should be providing these cc disability aids' or whatever is a totally reasonable thing to expect of individual players #like people got flamed for making disability aid cc. and providing early access. you literally just had to wait like 2 weeks. #it's just. the perfect incapsulation of anticapitalism not as in 'workers deserve to be paid' #but 'I deserve access to anything I want right now.' #absolutely 0 understanding that SIMS CC is a luxury good. #and that if OTHER PEOPLE LIVING UNDER CAPITALISM need money that's more important. #what's worst is that the people most vocal about this are ALSO vocally oppressed peoples!!!! #again proof that this idea of instinctive solidarity just. doesn't work lol. #nope to many of these people they either just don't want to conceive that other ppl have money issues they don't #or they see being denied anything they want as evidence of oppression and hierarchies of need. #god it's so shitty it makes me hate so much of the community tbh #soooo many good cc makers I've come across making the most. uncalled for comments abt ppl making money. #and it's so fuckin. #like it means that cc making is a hobby reserved for the financially secure yknow? #its not just that some people NEED the money desperately. #sometimes they cant afford to spend that amount of time on something that isnt also making money.
