I hope the cc creators got paid for their work in the 21st anniversary collection.
Whether or not they did, I hope they don't agree to give material to DLC unless they are getting paid. Out of respect for one another as well as for themselves.
I'm familiar with the competing demands on freelance artists from my RL working life. Too often, people in the arts are pressured to give stuff away in inappropriate circumstances. Doing something for free because you loved making it, or to give it to support a nonprofit or a cause, is one thing. Doing something for free for a big company because you can't get the big company to pay you, but you feel like you have to do it anyway, knowing the company will make money from your work, is a very different thing.
The ea.com article doesn't say anything about whether they were paid but maybe one or more would be willing to share with the forum.
