i play on windows 10 very well
I think it was a "Let's put something positive out in the media with regards to the series". They had just come under fire for the whole "we aren't removing any life stages" comment during development only to find out way too close to launch that there were no toddlers at launch and the whole scandal regarding who did or did not receive a copy of the TS4 demo via Twitter. They needed some good publicity.
I just wish they would have it up for download on Origin and not something where you have to contact Support. They should do that with all of their games that are young enough to still reasonably be expected to work on at least 80% of computers without many issues but old enough that they aren't likely to sell many copies - either due to everyone who was going to buy it has likely done so already or they are more likely to buy the next in the series.
So, no - I don't believe it was nice or to get people interested in TS4.
It's one thing to just allow those who had a version of the game where that promise would have been broken if they hadn't and allowing anyone to get it - including those who never owned the game at all. And giving all EP's and SP's in it when some may have just had one or two EP's and/or no SP's.
So while the initial push may have been to keep from breaking that promise, how they went about it was surprising given EA's nature, which means it was at minimum a PR stunt - a calculated loss to get more people to spend more money with them (either through goodwill, or given the age of Sims 2 vs when Origin was released more people on Origin).
