Not sure why that's a shame. It looks like it's still lost sight of what made the first sims game good

I'm sure the game itself will be good but EA will likely tack on their latest in crappy copy protection.

It won't last long, people are stupid, but, seriously, the casual market that -wants- Sims and Spore is not gonna take well to being told

You paid 40$, pay 40$ more for another copy now that your installs are used.
