Anyone take the lastest survey on the Sims 2 web page?
Lorelei:
How much will I pay? Not a damn thing.
IF they remove SecuROM and IF my laptop can run it and IF it doesn't look like Epic Fail, I MIGHT acquire a copy of Sims 3, but it isn't looking good.
As it is, I won't pay for anything with SecuROM attached to it.
I won't pay for SPs that have crappier content than I can find for free.
Will EA pay things end up in the booty? No. That's not the point of the booty. If they change the EULA and allow other folks to legally make money off of their products, that's their own footbullet.
As it is, I haven't--and won't--buy any EA products since BV, and haven't installed or PLAYED anything since Seasons. BV is still in the box, marinating there with SecuROM cooties all over it. Too bad I opened it before I found out.
It isn't even a matter of not being ABLE to pay for it. I could. I just refuse to be pickpocketed in order to get things that should be available as part of the game.
It would also be really swell if they could release a game that doesn't need a huge patch to cover up gross coding deficiencies that should have been beta-tested and corrected prior to launch.
EA: DOING IT WRONG.

Sims2host, or whatever it was called, tried this a year or two back. I did subscribe just the once. It adds up surprisingly quickly even with a minimal price per item. The was a collaboration of a few sites so there was a bit of variety, but over all not something I'm willing to do again.
Sims 3 is sounding remarkably like the sim city societies version of the sims. The dumbed down version of the sims where you only have the control of the sims EAxis says you can have.
Maxis used to give us a freebie once a week, once upon a time; it's sad to see that EAxis corporate greed has so far eroded the goodwill built from that time.

They are trying to use a MMORPG payment model for a non-MMORPG, not understanding that the point of special decorative-only pay items for MMORPGs is for the player's epeen. There is no epeen involved in the Sims, unless you have Crammyboy's peen.

That's unfortunately what happens when your average bloke redesigns a game predominately played by women. It basically reverts to virtual willy-waving and cries of "Hey, look at mine! It's bigger, better and comes in more colours than yours." It's the lack of epeen that makes TS2 appeal outside the 'normal' gaming demographic.

I think this sounds great. Instead of torrenting shit packs for the sake of one or two items I like, I can torrent just the few things I want. :D
