I Love You

i love you ♡

Yall I'm so sad... my childhood cat just passed away suddenly last night and bc she lived with my mom I didn't get to see her before it happened :(

For me, EA updating their policy in regards to CC + monetization of UGC is a blessing in disguise.

I've been here since 2015, so I've experienced the metamorphosis of this community as both a consumer and creator of content. Over the years, as paid and early access content have become normalized, I've seen so many creators have joined in on the CC making rat race as a way to get some fast cash. Instead of releasing fun passion projects and interacting with the community at large, they work tirelessly to hit deadlines to meet patron, monetary, and follower goals. And there has just been this overwhelming feeling of loneliness and stagnation in the community? I cant quite put my finger on it.

I miss the days of us having fun, sharing our creations + inspo with one another, sharing resources, teaching one another how to create, etc. and ever since CC became so heavily monetized, we've stopped sharing with and encouraging others, and it's just plain sad.

If the prospect of profit is removed, I'm hoping we'll all support one another again and just have fun with creating, rather than worrying about our bottom line and boosting numbers. And if you want to and can support your faves? Do it! Like, reblog, share, donate if you are able. Just don't ever feel as though it's a requirement to enjoy this game, because it isn't.

I know my thoughts and feelings may seem unrealistic and overly optimistic, but I hope we can all come together again and enjoy our pixel projects.
