Some groups in this community are forcing creators to do only free and early access? And spread hate and misinformation about EA TOU? (Patreon)

This is a quote I've come across since creating CC as far as I can remember.
I don't talk and support exclusive Creators : )
Don't support exclusive Creators : )
This is against EA's Rule You have to make it free in this community... when it will be public :)
Talent should come with morals : )
You can post only early access or free : )
Why don't you make free CC? I don't have money to pay. : )
I want your CC But I don't support exclusive creator : )
First, What right do you have to tell me what kind of distribution I have to provide something I created? I have much free stuff, but why do not have enough and want all my free stuff, when I don't follow, then come and attack me. If you won't support me then don't support me, why are you trying to persuade others not to support me? I've never spoken or attacked anyone. For example, don't support that or this Creator.
I‘d like to tell you that I am facing a group of people who take other people’s stuff and re-upload without the owner‘s permission. These people like to spread misinformation about EA TOU. These people tend to use multiple accounts which I was able to catch red-handed by just looking at their comment history on Reddit and many channels.

I am not sure if you are aware of this, but this is the other side of the story.
EA’s T.O.U specifically states that it ONLY grants users who can access UCG/CC through a RELEVANT EA Service, the permission to copy, modify, redistribute, etc, etc…ON or THROUGH a RELEVANT EA SERVICE. They also say you cannot publish, post, upload or distribute UCG that you don’t have permission to freely distribute.
Custom content acquired through Patreon is not a RELEVANT EA SERVICE - They have NO affiliation with EA. Nor do users have the rights to then redistribute the content acquired on Patreon to other platforms or sites such as Telegram/Other file share sites, WHICH AREN’T RELEVANT EA SERVICES.
The only mention of this infamous “Early Access” was by a retired Sim Guru, who wasn’t even part of EA’s Legal Team. The same Guru of which also stated EA has no involvement with folks who create their own content for the game, and that it belongs to the creator. I believe some groups of people interpret the T.O.U in their own way and spread wrong information throughout the community just to suit their needs.
Felixandre already asked SimsGuruDrake about this matter after he posted it https://imgur.com/pFKBpe3

Nowhere in the legal terms does it state about "Early Access"
No mentions of ‘Early Access’ anywhere on actual TOU. https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/
These are all proof. Let EA judge me like Pedo mod if I'm doing something wrong.
I've never experienced this from other communities before. It is like going to a shop, I want bags, I pay. I don't force the shop to donate their bag. In the real world, we can't get everything.
Some folks have no concept of how long and how hard it takes to create and share custom content on the internet. They simply take a few seconds to download in contrast!
Don't hate each other until the end. leave it for later The nature of diversity allows us to have different opinions. But different opinions are not equal to each other's enemies.
Thank you for reading until the end. Have a nice day : )
