“The intent is to provide creators with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking 30% revenue opportunities”
That quote above was not in any way said by anyone at The Sims Team. It’s inspired by Reddit’s most downvoted comment in history, written by the EA Star Wars franchise representative.
But the same sense of monetization funneling and questionable sense of accomplishment goes with the recent announcement of The Sims 4 Marketplace’s 30% cut for the creators. Making it seem like CC creators around the world have to band together in order to pay out EA’s 20 billion dollar buyout debt.
Today, EA has opened up invitations to join and register for The Sims 4 Marketplace and get that 30%. “It pays in exposure” was probably a huge thought process behind the upper executives when thinking of this cut deal. As if there aren’t other well established platforms that provide individual creators 83% for their talents. And allow the players to get that content for free after a month’s worth of early access initiatives.
Without being too opinionated about this (the featured image was more than enough for a statement), you can join The Sims 4 Maker Program down below.

Imagine casting aside your morals during the polarizing buy out of multi-billion dollar company – for a 30% cut. They didn’t even think highly enough of you and your hard work to let you get half of your own yield.
