EAxian Spyware And YOU!

<< < (6/15) > >>

Tever:
Oh, heavens, no. No, I would click the .exe, and the game would give me a message popup and then refuse to run. This was a long time ago, and I don't remember the message. And I've since fixed the problem by pirating the base game anyway.

wizard_merlin:
My experience in the past was if the EADM or origin was installed then uninstalled, it seemed to bork the game somehow, but not installing those at all when doing a reinstall of everything, the game works just fine.

YoungOldPrude:
This pre-buy warning ("Includes software that collects data online necessary to provide and activate In-Game Advertising for all The Sims 3 products previously or hereafter installed") has been on TS3's boxes since Ambitions was released, but it's starting to take on a whole new reality. Say hello to in-game advertisements, coming your way early 2012!

It sounds like the one EP I won't be buying. Except...does it really matter if I abstain? They usually find a way to incorporate crap like this in the patches—whether we like it or not.

wizard_merlin:
Unless I have missed something, it doesn't say you MUST be connected to the internet to play, or that you MUST share your game, so just disconnect from the internet when you play and there won't be any issues.

Just let them wear their tin foil hats, no use in arguing with them. I actually think all this Showtime stuff sounds fun, IF they end up doing it right.
