Reminder that people can be upset about paying for re-releases

I’ve seen several posts criticizing people for being upset about paying for the rerelease of Sims 1 and Sims 2. I think this is a valid opinion and we should call a spade a spade. This is a cash grab, plain and simple. It’s that the lay of the land now? Yes! However, we don’t have to like it.

Please note that in 2014, 10 years after Sims 2 was released, EA made the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection free with proof of purchase of the base game. This was due to the game being virtually unplayable otherwise. EA had discontinued support for the game launcher.

In my opinion, these re-releases shouldn’t retail for more than $15. They should also be complete collections. To me, that seems reasonable. The Sims 1 is 25 years old and The Sims 2 is 21 years old. Anything higher is just greedy. Would you pay full price for a PS1 game?

Edit: it looks like it’s out and some are reporting that it’s crashing. I’m not saying this to gloat. Stop letting that company play you!
