Sims 3 in early June

Motoman · 7th Feb 2009, 09:55 AM

...according to FudZilla, EA will be releasing Sims 3 in early June. Any bets as to whether or not it'll be infected to the brim with punish-the-legal-consumer DRM?

I will categorically NOT be buying Sims 3 (and Sims/Sims 2 is one of my most favorite games ever) if it has any DRM even vaguely similar to what Spore came out with.

I played the first Sims. It was refreshing, but I got bored really quickly I didn't even bother trying the add-on packs.

I think this game suits a much wider crowd, if you know what I mean.

It is guaranteed to have Securom.

Yeah, I'm sure it will come with SecuROM.

Those newer games usually have a layer or two of those DRMs. Be prepared for it.

Not going off topic, dunno why I got bored of Sims 2 too quickly - probably because there's too much micro-management compared to the classic Sims 1.

For Sims 1 I didn't had an oppportunity to properly play the game without cheat, (call me lazy!) every time I did, I'll end up typing "rosemary" and "move_objects on"... I lol'ed at it!
