So, at some point, we’ll all lose everything permanently. We’re Unbelievable. Does the same go for TS3?
Depends where you acquire the TS3 copy, if you bought the disc version you will keep it permanently granted if you still have access to the discs and they're still in good condition.
The user agreement is really for their "games as a service" model. Sims 4 and a majority of games now require the internet to update for patches. I have the physical game discs for Sims 4 and Get to Work. I can download play those offline without any of the orginal patches. At least I found that to be true now with a computer we do not have connected to the internet. It is like that for many modern games though.
The old days of just downloading old games is over. I played the first iteration of the Sims from launch until it would not load on a computer with Windows 10 in 2015. You purchase a license to play, you never own a game anymore.

I don’t have it, I was just wondering. My computer doesn’t have a disc drive, so I guess that’s out of the question.
No, it's to much reading and it usually the same legal jargen about how the game it tied to your account and how you don't own the game you merely bought a licences agreement to use their product.
What do you mean I don't own my game!?
Among other things it means that EA can decide to shut down its servers, removing access to all TS4 content, and there isn’t a thing we can do about it. They aren’t obligated to provide us with perpetual access to the product.
I'm not sure what you mean about access. TS4 can be played offline, so if it's on our hard drives, how can they stop access?
If you uninstalled the game at any point, or bought a new computer or hard drive, you wouldn’t be able to re-download it.
I don't think that's right. Many people (me included) have bought new computers and play the game just fine.
I don't remember if I skimmed through the agreement in the first place, I do sometimes. But it's been a while for sure.
They weren't talking about right now. They were saying if EA ever felt the need to shut down their server for any reason (let's say Zombie Apocalypse). If they ever shut their server down, you would not be able to re-download the game if you ever needed to.
Or if Microsoft decided Windows 10 needed a massive overhaul - there would be a chance that the game would not be able to function. Just like how you can't really play the original sims on Windows 10.
Like SJM? Like Kpop? Like Greek Mythology?

I'd be too busy fighting the zombies than playing The Sims, or any game for that matter.
My downtime would be spent making weaponry and foraging. 😉
I normally just skim through the user agreements, just to be sure. Though actual agreements IRL, absolutely.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults
I have neither the time or the patience to read too many paragraphs of legal jargon that I can barely comprehend. Yeah you have my info. Yeah I dont own the game. Want my first born too? Just show me the "I accept" button.
Looked it over, but not even remotely remembered. They're all the same anyway, user promises to be a good boy/girl and abide by the rules, EA promises to do whatever they feel like with no notice.
No point in reading it when you pretty much know it's straight forward "Agree or you no play! and Don't be a one of those guys." Type deals or you loose your game so a once over works fine.

I never read the agreements but I'll be honest the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was the south park episode where they did not read the apple agreement (if anyone watches the show or knows what I am talking about ha)

It was written in long form alienish
(like pretty much all agreements, terms and legal stuffs)
so I didn't really understand a thing though.
I guess I'll just hope it said nothing about offering my firstborn child to eliza pancakes as sacrificial gift

It's always the same. They have all the rights, users have none. If you don't agree you don't play - as simple as that.
