The Sims 3 pirated alreadyYaargh! |
|
It's official - The Sims 3 has already been released. I won't give out the address here, mainly because I don't have it. My brother downloaded it and I'm copying from his PC as I'm writing this. I will most likely buy it because I want the special addition with a car and a special The Sims 3 USB stick, and the ability to download usermade objects. However, do you think this will affect sales? Or not at all? I'm actually quite surprised, and I think alot of fans will download this early just to be able to play it more. I personally think that for a game like The Sims 3 that revolves so much around user created content, the early release will not affect sales much. However, I think this should be a lesson for companies to wait with sending out gold versions for as long as possible. Also I think this might be a good thing for the unofficial 'hacking' community that works on deconstructing The Sims' various fileformats to allow fans to customize their game to an even greater extent. Here is a link to a newspost confirming the release. |

Nah. I think with a game like this, you'll have all us lot piss around with the pirated copy*, then avoid it, pretend we don't play it, and pretend that we think it's silly.. Then, all the "Non-Geeks" will buy it, and the 17,000 inevitable add-ons, for the next 5 or 10 years. *of course, we wouldn't do that, nor do I condone Afr0 doing that either.. 2 warez threads in a single afternoon.. tsk tsk guys.

Pie Rats should be administered poison, lest they ruin more of our pies.
