I really enjoy playing the sims. I am a collector of the games, and only buy them in their disc form. I am missing only one stuff pack from the Sims 3 because I was unable to buy the hard copy from a local store. I bought the sims 4 for $80.00 something dollars because I wanted the HARD copy.
I am pretty annoyed right now because I wanted to buy the new Outdoor Retreat and Get to Work. I go to my local store and there are no hard copies for sale. I look online and there are no hard copies anywhere including in the Sims Store. This is aggravating.
Production costs aside, it seems very disrespectful to take the choice of how a game is purchased from the consumer who wants to spend their money on a product. I would rather have the discs and download them on my own rather than having to rely on origin to do the job. I like having pretty covers and discs to look at or use when I play my game. I absolutely hate the way that Steam and Blizzard works, but now it seems that Origin is going the same route. It seems as though we will soon be required to be online all the time to play these games, and that just sucks. I am willing to pay more for the product to have the hard copy.
I'm sure I am not the only one.
When will hard copies be released either in the sims 4 online store or in big box stores? Or will they ever be released as hard copies?
I can't be the only one upset by this. Am I?

Outdoor Retreat is online DLC only and cannot be purchased on disc. That's how all the game packs will be, apparently. But you can buy expansions in disc form, as usual.
yeah...I think we know why

The expansion can't be in your stores yet because it isn't out till April. The Outdoor Retreat pack is not available in stores anywhere, at all; it's DLC = downloaded content, like when we bought store sets for Sims 3.

Actually, when I was referring to expansion packs, I was referring to the Sims 3 EXP's like World Adventures and Island Paradise.
On an unrelated note, how do I quote like you did luthien?

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.
It's not Laziness.
All games have digital content nowadays. Considering it's 2015, we are lucky EA still make Expansion Packs physical. Even most albums today are digital.
