  Denuvo for 20 year-old games??

    Yup, apparently so.

    EA… EA never changes

    Why would that matter? Pirate the original if you want. Denuvo barely effects performance. That claim is so over exaggerated.

  So if I’m reading these right, these are the same as downloading from an abandoned website but they’ve added drm? Uhhh I’ll pass.

    Both games did get some compatibility fixes but for the most part yeah.

    Right?

  Of course, EA would release something the community wanted with great desperation but taint it in the worst way possible at the same time. This is likely unplayable on Linux, given their pestilent EA App is required for validation. I’ve never been excited and then so disgusted, all within the space of 5 seconds.

    EA App does work through Wine so that itself isn’t a death sentence. Dunno about it mixed with Denuvo though.

      I haven’t had issues with Denuvo on Linux thus far. It’s been a non factor.

  No standalone expansions, missing some expansion packs, no visual improvements, no UI scaling, no modern settings, has mandatory EA App and Denuvo integration, and they want 20 dollars for EACH?

  I’m good

  • Peffse@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Nonono, you misunderstand. They want $30 for allowing you to play The Sims 2.

    source

    • dinckelman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Well, isn’t that just great

  I keep seeing “have all DLC” but they seem to be conflating Expansion/Stuff Packs with actual Downloadable Content.

  Does The Sims 1 contain all the Maxis website stuff? Is the downloadable Elle Woods no longer lost media?

  Does the Sims 2 include all the downloadables from The Exchange? The downloads from Sims Store? The downloadable pre-order bonuses? The downloadable Christmas pack?

  source

  • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    What about the pizza hut content? 99% of people don’t even REMEMBER the pizza hut stuff!

    source

    • Peffse@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      ooh, do you have any details? I don’t think I heard about this one.

  As a casual sims enjoyer, it genuinely does feel like they’re salty people liked Sims 3 more than Sims 4 and won’t release an “everything” version of it.

  I still have the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from the time they ended up giving it to everyone who’d claim it for a few days.

  They haven’t removed it from the app… yet. Not taking any chances, I’m re-downloading it on my current PC right now.

  source

  • Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I don’t think they’ll remove the Ultimate Collection from people’s libraries. The main incentive to buy is… well, the ability to buy the games and the improved compatibility with modern systems - UC doesn’t really affect the main demographic, i.e. people who aren’t interested or knowledgeable enough to fix those issues on their own.

  I’ll wait for the community patches and -50% sale to get the Sims 2.

  they used flat ass dialog popups and fucking comic sans for the text

  I’ve tried to like these games so much since the first one came out back in the day. I’ve played all of them, multiple times but can never go last one hour. I don’t get it. I should like these games!
