The Sims 4 - 2014

I didn't ask for this.

And yet people will still buy it.

Is it safe to say it won't be on Steam?

Fffffffffffff I just bought the Sims 3 and every expansion plus stuff pack on Origin!

Inb4 more DLCs to suck your wallet dry.

Oh, and the dreadful always-online DRM.

Agreed. EA has gone too much on capitalism.... They have some of the worst customer support I've gotten before too. Ignoring my game support question when my Crysis(one) failed to launch after patch.

There's also their streak on ruining just about every popular game franchise they have too.

I hope it's more like the Sims 2. I didn't like the Sims 3 because of the rabbit holes, bugs, and butt ugly sims.

I'd get it... when its $5 for the game and all DLC.

Preordering it.

It will probably be Always On DRM, err I mean "oh not DRM, just how our creative directors invisioned the game". If so, wont buy it. But maybe with simcity fiasco they wont do it, specially since the sims was always strong about modding.

Finally! Gimme the game and all dlcs. I'll pay full price. Actually- charge me double.

Sims 1 for life.

You ever get the feeling that in one of these iterations there will be an EA representative sim That comes to your house at random and requests real world currency before letting you continue? And if you decline, the chances of disasters befalling you increase by 1,000%.

If that's how the sims are going to look like, I will be extremely happy. They look like straight out of a pixar film.

yeah let me guess:
-only on Origin
-preorder it for DLCs
-on launch day feels like SimCity (2013) on launch day
-Back to Simsland dlc (why not?)
-The Sims now with microtransactions
-billions of dlcs

I came here to say what's in the OP :(

meh i got sims 3, close enough... and on steam

Moar Katy Perry expansion packs!

Cool

Lol apparently it's not going to require an internet connection?

Is the retail versions going to be on the Origin DRM? or can it be seperate so its just on the computer's DRM?

Only ever played the first one, I had all the expansions back then. :D

Yay :D I loved sims 3 but it was so buggy :/

Sorry, but after the always online DRM fiasco, I lost my faith in sim city. Guess I will play the old Sim or hang around with Tropico.

I swear to god, if EA doesn't let me kill everyone on my block by drowning them in my basement, I will destroy EA.
