Leaked fourteen days before release? Ouch. I just really hope that the game is solid enough that it encourages people to go out and buy it en-masse as a result (especially if they weren't going to buy it). Love or hate EA, it must be heartbreaking for Maxis after a 6 year development cycle.
Unfortunately, this'll probably mean that EA will return to invasive DRM. Sims 3 was the first "major" release in a while that opted for just a simple disk-check. Way to bite the hand that feeds. |

Yeah. Hopefully the online sharing stuff they've got built into the game will encourage people to actually buy it.

So people who argue against DRM can now see what happens, don't get me wrong the DRM would ahve been hacked, but that takes time which means this leaked version wouldn't be around yet. They class DRM a sucess if it just stops the pritates until release.
On the other hand this game will cost about £300 after all the add-ons so I can't blame people for downloading really. |

Did anyone see the Gamespot preview of this? Bloody awful, I couldn't read more than a few paragraphs and in the video the guy mumbles all the way through it, thank you for the Gillen!
Shame about the leak, I will definitely consider buying this tho, One thing that might put me off is that you cannot date multiple people, surely the source of much hilarity in the original? if memory serves. |

"40-50% of PC gamers are thieves anyway "
Isn't this true across other platforms? the consoles soon get chipped/flashed and off people go, PC's are easy on the hardware front (no mods needed) but the hoops needed to jump through to apply some patches/cracks + the risk of trogans/virus's is enough to put people off. PC games come out at £25 and drop quickly which is enough for me. As for DRM, its never affected my PC, I must admit I install no cd patches but thats more so I don't have to keep grabbing discs etc. |

I'd imagine the leak is the version Kieran has been playing, rather than the full thing though.

Jonny5Alive7: Yeah, I'd think it was the preview version. That said, it did go gold a couple of days ago - which means it *could* be the final one.
LeChuckie: You can't officially date people, but you can totally have as many affairs as you like. Playing my date-10-people game, I was regularly setting up the next few while dating another. And getting slapped for it. KG

anyone know if there will be a demo i refuse to buy this after Sims 2, i felt they removed loads from the first game and tried to shaft them onto me in expansions.
I think ill be causious about his until i have tried and played a demo, if there is'nt one well ill wait for another game to come out. But im looking forward to this so i hope one will come out. |

They usually do trace leaks this big and hit them with everything, and so they should.

40-50% of PC gamers are thieves anyway so this is no surprise. The only solution is to kill off PC gaming and make consoles the main platform for everything
So half of us PC gamers should suffer because of the other douchebags...nah, that doesn't fly with me. I don't play many games on my PC as my main gaming is done on the PS3, but the games I do have, are bought either via Steam or Game. Also, in regards to this comment Isn't this true across other platforms? the consoles soon get chipped/flashed and off people go as far as I know the PS3 has yet to be cracked successfully, so not all consoles are susceptible to those pesky pirates ;)

70 - 80% of internet users are bellends so your comment is no surpirse. The only solution is to break the fingers of these retards and make well adjusted people the only users of the internet. Most internet users forget their morals and common sense when they go online, and most people who will respond to this are dicks, so their opinion don't mean shit. They make the internet a depressing place and don't give a shit
There is nothing else to say on the matter. |

It is said that the leaked version is quite buggy. Sure, it doesn't really help, but it does serve as a demo, and perhaps some pirates might buy the game when it comes out.
...Wait, who am I kidding. |

How about letting them dive into the swimming pool with no ladder to get out.

Holy shit I'm really surprised at how many people can't recognise a troll when they see one.
incidentally the DRM policy was turning precisely 0 pirates into paying customers, the online component should convert a bunch imo, at the very least i'm seriously considering buying it after sampling it, although that doesn't really count cause i always treat any pre release pirates as a demo and always either buy or uninstall it in a week or so, but one things for sure I've never and will never buy a game with install limits with exception of Mass Effect cause i didn't realise it had it :( |
