Reznov64: Saw Sims 1 & 2 on Steam just now, no idea if its worth a buy, I keep reading conflicting messages/reviews from multiple users saying it has Denuvo and some saying it doesn't and some say it requires use of the EA App and some say it doesn't. Considering Steam is the site where people tag Stardew Valley with "psychological horror" I can't trust any of them.
The biggest issue for me is rather that EA did only the minimum work in terms of getting the games working. And not updating things like resolution and UI size for newer systems. This would be something for GOG's preservation program, presupposed that EA is willing to release it on GOG.

LegoDnD: I nabbed the complete Sims 3 for $60, but that was on a nice steep sale.

ClassicGamer592: If you include all Sims 3 store content it costs $74926 dollars...
As someone who has them [they're actually DRM-free], it actually cost far, far less than that.

I think they mean rather, [including Sims Store content].

So do I.
I'm very disappointed these weren't released here. Especially The Sims 1, I was really hoping to have it in my GOG collection at some point. /:

EA loves their DRM. I knew this was not coming here since we don't even have on GOG Dragon Age II and Inquisition.

$1257.41. (Just the Sims 3 Store items; not the discs themselves.)

And time checking daily for the sale items and the "give me a random discount" thing fairly often. And buying larger bundles/etc.

But mind you this was over a period of 6 years. And I won't deny that it is a lot. Just that the hyperbole up there was mor than a magnitude off.

It's a shame Sims 1 & 2 has arrived in the state it has as, for many its there first experience with the game,but the lack luster way they thew it together with all sorts of technical problems they "fixed some where ignored only with EA could we have a subreddit do a better job patching at the game and making sure it runs on moderen systems game
