You have been obsessing over this store set since the stuff pack was announced. It’s a similar situation, but really the EP requirement was the only similarity. It included one premium object that had no new gameplay attached to it. Pets ate out of it exactly the same as the regular food bowls. The remainder of the set wasn’t for pets.
This new SP has content that is explicitly for C&D (which requires an EP), content that is designed in the same style as furniture from the C&D EP, and has a new gameplay object that previously came with the ‘Pets’ EP.
I never mentioned this set with you. Only once elsewhere.
Doesn't matter how much of it was Pets stuff, the fact is they wanted you to pay $14 for 21 items, to get the Pet Stuff.
The point still stands that in order for the practice not to continue, people need to vote with their wallets. Not just buy it anyway.
There was little outrage I could find regarding this situation then, which is why EA thinks it's okay now.
Point is, if people buy anyway, that tells EA it's okay.
You could (and still can) buy ala carte items. The auto-feeder costs 284 SP by itself. No one was forcing anyone to spend $14 for 21 items, that was a value bundle price for the entire set.
You could only get them in the bundle originally, premium items are locked in the set for a period of time.
