Thank you for making this thread. I'm going to add my concern here and my support for a product boycott until this icon is removed.
To EA/Maxis: I think you'd agree the sims community tolerates a lot from you. Such as wedding stories, dine out, retail stores and others being broken from launch, and still being broken to this day. Relying on the modding community (once again) for fixes for these buggy and broken additions. We still don't have cars, abilities to edit lots or add new lots, color wheels, etc.
I can only speak for myself but the inclusion of this icon only confirms what I already knew. That you are only interested in new sales and will continue to allow modders to fix your content. Not only is this offensive to your consumer base but completely unfair to your "free" patching team of modders.
I promise you will not see another cent from me until it is removed and I will be actively encouraging others to speak up here and join the boycott.
