🛒 Will you purchase Marketplace content ?
Hi, Do you plan to purchase Marketplace content ? (Note : Kits and Creator Kits will be only available on the Marketplace after March 17th.)
Forum Discussion
I will be perfectly transparent. I will CONSIDER making purchases but not many because I think the 70/30 split in EA's favor is a bit gross and greedy. I also don't like how many of the creators were treated. Targeting people in money troubles is predatory. So any purchase I make will be because the items are things I have already wanted for a while in my game. I know there are folks who purchase indiscriminately and I have in the past myself but now with the Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner buyout, I'm just not going to give over my money willy nilly. I will never however purchase any GP's or EP's with Moola. I also think the needing to purchase Moola to make purchases is unnecessary just charge what you think it will go for and let the Marketplace decide if it's worth it or not. Then you can adjust prices accordingly.
Here is a list of the ONLY things I would EVER consider purchasing. Not on the list, wont Buy. P.S. - The items being sold better not look like CC in the Inventory. They should look and sort just like any Kit, SP, GP or EP.

Yes, to everything you listed. I think it would also be nice if they added some mods that improved the gameplay, like the restaurant mod or the hotel mod. There could be others but I don't keep up with all the available mods out there.
I don't either.
