I'm glad they're not remaking TS2. I prefer they try something new, even if it is the pits. Would you rather they keep cranking out EPs (and creatures ><) or ShitPacks? Time to move on, I say.
Are you kidding? This is practically The Sims 2: Retard Edition. The same game, but with crappified graphics, gameplay and broken new features. It's pretty obvious that they've just injected their "new" code into the TS2 engine and trashed it.
Bah, I will defend this. I am looking forward to TS3. It's a game, so I'm gonna play it. Probably won't leave TS2 behind as I did TS1 though.
I mean, if someone offered me a free grape lollypop in addition to the strawberry one I was already enjoying, I would take it. Why not?

For a game where they've rescinded the requirement of being 'online' to play, they're sure pushing the online 'features' down our throats.

Did anyone read this? http://www.simprograms.com/the-sims-3-store-faq-april-2009/
There are some things that bother me about it. Like it says if you download anything from the Sims 3 Store (which includes the free second neighborhood) it says after you download them, they'll show on the launcher and you click to install them to the game. But what about people who bypass the launcher? I don't use it in TS2 so I'm certainly not planning on using it for TS3. It's also sounding like we'll have to use the EA Downloader, but doesn't it install SecuROM? I just hope it will be easy to grab the stuff from the Sims 3 Store because everyone gets $10 in simpoints for buying the game (yes, I pre-ordered the C.E. because I want the plumbob USB drive) so if it's possible to share the items as it is from TS2, then I'd be happy to share anything I get. That is if EA Downloader doesn't install SecuROM.
I found this question interesting:

Q: Is there copy protection on the disc?
A: Yes, we have the same level of copy protection on disc as what shipped with the original The Sims 2 base game.
So that means they're going back to SafeDisc, then, right? I'll still wait for the No CD crack just because I don't really trust EA anymore, and since I've gotten used to the convenience of not having to keep the disc in the drive all the time. But what's strange, is they don't answer when asked about what type of protection is used on the digital copy.

No, it probably means neither more nor less than EA has some professional communications people working for them and that this one line probably took 2 days to write and 3 weeks to get approved. It says the "same level" not the same brand, make, type. It could therefore mean anything, but the use of "base game" is clearly meant to be reassuring.
