Someone is stealing Sims pics?

I was on Facebook today (yes, I blocked out names and profile pics before posting this photo) and at the top of my page, I noticed a 'Sponsored' page. And guess what the main cover photo was?

    Probably. This is pretty blatant.

    @Alpal425 - I suggest you contact EA and let them know what you found. Maybe just PM SimGuruBChick with this screen grab you posted.

    Bump.
    Sorry, where exactly and who exactly do I contact at EA? Help?

    And are you sure it's copyright infringement? Sorry, I'm just a really stupid teenager, hehe. :blush:

    I see it all the time on FB. Most of the time it's an ad for a game with a sims 2 picture.

    Hehe, that's not Sims 2. It's Sims Medieval, if I am correct.

    No I meant the ads that I see on my FB. :) I know the picture you posted is Sims Medieval.

    I love these ads because 10/10 times they are not showing the game and when you actually play it its like some isometric flat 3d click game.
    But this is the first time I've ever seen a game use another games picture.

    Seriously? When will they stop?

    And if this isn't allowed on the forums (is it against the rules? I can't tell!), feel free to tell me and I will delete it (well, you can't delete posts but I can just clear the text).

    Go to the stop of the page and click the envelope then when you create the private message send it to SimGuruGraham
  • Alpal425Alpal425 Posts: 198 Member
    Okay, I contacted Graham. I hope he doesn't ignore messages. :tongue:

    Well, considering The Sims series is probably on the top 10 most popular video game series with all of those millions of copies sold, I would assume that means he gets a ton of messages and doesn't actually have time to read silly fangirls and fanboys letters, haha.

    Hahaha, what was going through their minds when they posted this on fb? As popular as the sims is, did they really think NO ONE would notice?? Lol!

    A few years ago, I found people posting videos and links to download store worlds for free into their game. (then promptly got upset when their illegally acquired worlds didn't work right or corrupted their game)
  • despina53despina53 Posts: 1,654 Member
    @Alpal425 - I still suggest sending a PM to SimGuruBChick. She's in charge of communications so if someone is posting something using Sims material, she's the one to talk to. ;)
