It's all good, I didn't take your reply as a negative. It would be awesome if we could play anything with zero issues but we can't always be this lucky I'm afraid (though I'm all for heckling big corps about DRM).

No standalone expansions, missing some expansion packs, no visual improvements, no UI scaling, no modern settings, has mandatory EA App and Denuvo integration, and they want 20 dollars for EACH?

I'm good

none of those are DLC

Nonono, you misunderstand. They want $30 for allowing you to play The Sims 2.

As long as we consistently don't buy their intentionally compromised products...It's been shown that companies will relent. Like Sony did recently with their PSN requirements for certain games, as the hostile feedback was hurting sales. I will continue to heckle those big corps myself, until they kowtow! It's a boss battle, but they only have so much HP, Chip Damage is a successful strategy.

That's a fair point. I should've gone with the "packs" wording EA used, I guess.

ooh, do you have any details? I don't think I heard about this one.

As a casual sims enjoyer, it genuinely does feel like they're salty people liked Sims 3 more than Sims 4 and won't release an "everything" version of it.

I still have the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from the time they ended up giving it to everyone who'd claim it for a few days.

They haven't removed it from the app... yet. Not taking any chances, I'm re-downloading it on my current PC right now.

I don't think they'll remove the Ultimate Collection from people's libraries. The main incentive to buy is... well, the ability to buy the games and the improved compatibility with modern systems - UC doesn't really affect the main demographic, i.e. people who aren't interested or knowledgeable enough to fix those issues on their own.

So you bought a real physical pizza at pizza hut. Printed on every box at the time was a code. You went to pizza huts website, put in the code, and the page allowed you to download a file. When double clicked, the file modified your sims installation.

So now when you played the sims, before your sim could order a pizza for $40. But now there was another option. "Order the Bigfoot from Pizza Hut." Which cost $19.99 + sims tax $0.01"

The sims tax was because in real life the BigFoot was $19.99, and they wanted to advertise this, but the game wasn't programmed to handle decimals in sims 1 money.

Then when your pizza was delivered, it had the same properties as the regular pizza to your sims hunger. But the box was a rectangular box, and made to look like the real thing, which was rectagular box with square slices. The pizza delivery guy was wearing a pizza hut uniform.

And if your sim holds a $40 pizza, the slices are triangle. If they hold a bigfoot pizza slice, they were square.

And the other difference was the $40 pizza, your driver took like 20 seconds to arrive (which was like 40 minutes in game time). A pizza hut driver showed up instantly (which still meant like 10 minutes in game time).

Now here's the coolest part. The Bigfoot pizza was created by pizza huts senior director of marketing. But you know him better by name as Reggie Fils-Aimé.

I can't find any evidence that Reggie also was reaponsible for the sims content.....but.....come on. He created the BigFoot pizza. This content was just marketing for the BigFoot. It's Reggie. Hkw is this NOT his idea, right?
