But yet everyone is crying about EAxis being greedier than ever when this point in Sims 3's life we already had almost $200 worth of extra content staring us in the wallet.

    Yup. But you misunderstood something, obviously.

    We were talking about Sims Freeplay and Dungeon Keeper on phones.
    Google for "the worst games in 2014" and among top 3 I bet you'll find DK. Reason it's so bad? EA's greed.

    More on the matter:

    Again, EA being greedy too much currently has nothing with Sims 3 nor Sims 4.
    Currently. That can still change. Let's hope it won't.

    I think this is the best post on this. I like that you have the facts. The game did cost more up front, but let's see what happens in the long run.

    Most of their development time went to the patches and game packs, now it's forward onto Expansions.

    It's a rocky start for sure, here's to hoping for the better as time moves. Though if the expansion and the idea of Game packs is to show, there's hopefully going to be a light at the end of this tunnel sixaM managed to get themselves into.

    @Pary‌
    More patches means that there's a much greater likelihood of problems being fixed.
    And that a lot of the bugs are fixed faster

    Sims3 didn't get nearly as many Bug-Fix patches as it needed, and it shows.

    lmao. Flop 4 has a long way to go to even reach Sims 3 right now.

    You're getting that stuff because EA knows they lost a bunch of longtime simmers. Also, you're getting a bunch of stuff but it's about quality not quantity.

    With TS3, it was neither. :disagree:

    Yes -- all base games but the base game of Sims 4 had pools.

    TS2's base game even had hot tubs.

    Yeah, like EA gonna put out lots more content to sell when what's out isn't doing well on the market. Maybe if the sales were comparable to sims 3 at the same time, I'd bet EA would have tried to push more in Sims 4. ;)
    Nothing to see. I don't even care about the forums.

    I don't think this is a very good comparison because weren't the patches for items that weren't in the original game to begin with? Also if I remember correctly the Sims 4 initial cost was more than Sims 3 I believe. I do like the graphics of the Sims 4 but do wish it had the initial same content starting out as a base game and less loading screens would be nice. You really don"t realize how much is missing till you read posts like I read one the other day about the world editor and the pattern creator not being in this which we had with Sims 3. I had forgotten about those. There is just so much that was taken out and people just would like a equal product for the price they are paying. I don't see whats wrong with that. I am playing Sim 4 but like others have a hard time playing the game for very long as I lose interest quickly with not much to do in the game. I think part of why I am getting bored so quickly is that toddlers were a big part of my family and its really hard for me to play without them. Not much you can do with the baby. I am excited about the new EP coming out but I really hope that it has more to offer than what has been shown cause it looks a little light for a EP. World adventures had a lot to that game and I hope this first EP matches up to it. Happy Simming!

    TS4 is still growing on me tbh. There are days I love it and days I just want to throw my laptop out of the second story window.
