I'm not buying Sims 3 or any other expansion packs. It's really sad that it's gotten to the point they forget about their customers and only focus on the pirates. They're making so much freaking money even with the pirates. Whoever is making these executive decisions is making a fatal mistake and is going to lose more money from their real customers than they would if they eased up on the anti-pirate software and accepted that no matter what they do their games will be stolen by someone who'll outsmart any security system they come up with.
This is terrible. All we want to do is play a game. I'm so turned off by all this news. It really takes the fun out of the game and makes me look else where for other companies who make fun games and still care about their customers.
With the game industry booming, they've got to realize that other companies are competing with them and ARE hearing our complaints and concerns about Securom.
I can't wait until this whole Sims game bellies the hell up on them. I'm finished with it. No more.
Too many other fun computer games that don't invade my privacy.
