EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy

As a (almost) lifelong TS2 fan, even I would be hard pressed to pay what they're charging.

They didn't, the listing was wrong and has been updated

There are a lot of bugs that crash the game. It's barely functional for most. Just look at the Steam reviews.

These games were free before, and with a community patch were still playable. This rerelease somehow got a worse patch than the community patch and costs 40 bucks.

The games were free for a long time, and a community patch made them work. That was a significantly better deal than having to pony up 40 bucks for an EA patch that's barely functional.

I distantly remember a guy who was dying of cancer, but kept up an absolute tirade against EA. There was so much ill will then, it would be funny if they made the same mistake.

I don't know if you are talking about Total Biscuit, but you've reminded me of Total Biscuit.

The alternative would've been putting actual effort into making a legacy collection run on modern systems.

Nobody complained about Star Wars Battlefront until its legacy collection came out and worked like garbage.

Nobody complained about The Sims until its legacy collection came out and... I'm sure you get the idea.

The Game doesn't even have Denuvo, what are you talking?

I filter my reviews for over 10 hours on steam

Was playing Sims 2 last night. Managed to make a family but didn't get far enough to buy a house because the game crashed.

Went to sleep.

Today I'll be scouring the internet for the real reason people play Sims 2. Ya... You know why.

You lose out on the reviews of people who tap out after a couple hours of constant crashing and bugs.

[solidshake@lemmy.world]

But I also lose out on fake reviews like " game" or " ea" which is A LOT of fucking people. I also skip out on "no one will see this so I'm gay" or whatever. People use steam reviews as a social media app now to get likes and awards. It's fucking trash
