When it comes to Stuff Pack and Game Packs, they're just too small to bother any-more. Sims is only really different due to it having a more diverse demographic than most other games on the market (and I don't mean to sound condescending about that either, I think it's great). Gaming in 2015 and gaming in 2004 are almost nothing alike.

Steam is living proof of the overwhelming success of digital distribution, less and less PC games come out physically. Now days for the PC gaming space, most sales for games are in fact digital.

And gamers were MUCH cheaper to producer.

Steam was a baby, the vast majority of sales were physical, there wasn't much in the of any real major patch support for games, digital distribution was in very early days, DLC wasn't even a thing, there was no YouTube, FaceBook wasn't popular, MySpace was still big, HD gaming wasn't much of a thing, heck at that time most people played games on CD's not DVDs and their monitors were square (4:3), not widescreen (16:9). The Sims 2 came out in a very different era. I don't care about the bundles because by the time they come I will already have all the packs in it ! If EA was so money hungry they wouldn't limit their sales,no I am leaning to control and collecting sharing **selling** data.ĭisclaimer: This is just my honest humble opinion as I see it. Digital only is just fine for a mobile phone, it gets a signal all the time,in most areas not mine,but unlimited internet cuts out many who would love to play. Some already have I know for a fact as they are my friends,how many of them know people or family and have gotten them to quit buying? See that is how it starts and it just grows like a snowball. That said people will slowly quit buying from EA/Origin as is happening now.

The intrusiveness of Origin even when you are playing offline is suspicious to me to begin with. Maybe not today, or even next month,but I do know many that have quit buying from EA/Origin because of the digital only sales and the forced patching or no play, logging in every time you want to play an EA game even offline. My personal opinion is,Limiting your sales to digital only is only going to hurt you in the long run.

How can they keep up to date on what you have on your computer and what you are doing if you don't have to login and/or download their game. Being in total control and exclusive to Origin only is the main reason,that and data mining your computer as stated in the EULA & Privacy Policy. Saying it is more profitable when TS2 became the Best Selling PC game of all Time, making EA/Maxis millions, and it was on DVD kind nullifies that. I am going with the cynical part of this post! Origin, it's way cheaper physically I find. Just look at Sims 3 expansions in a physical store vs. On Origin THEY control the price, so there's no later price-reduction like you find in physical stores. Through Origin the money goes directly to EA, not shared with a third-party.

Of course the cynic inside me says it's a matter of control. It's still relativity early days for Sims 4. Now that said, just because they're aren't doing it individually doesn't mean that down the road there won't be some kind of collection of them.įor example maybe once three of the Game Packs are out, they'll bundle them and bring that out physically. I guess it comes down to sales figures, it's possible that EA thinks that it might not be worth it.Īfter all, for other expansions which EA publishers in their other games (such as Battlefield), the expansions come in boxes, but there's no disc inside, only a code.

Well.first off Mac isn't big with the gaming industry so.'s expected ! But, seriously I am not getting the thing where latest computers aren't javing disk drives!? That's just stupid Plus, newer computers are being made without optical drives so many players would have no need for a disk. CDs/DVDs are pretty costly to produce, when you consider the actual medium, the case (with cover art), shipping to stores, making sure stores actually put them out on the shelves, what happens if copies get sent back, etc. More games are going with strictly digital distribution - when they brought out the Mac version of the Sims 3 base game it was only available in digital format, no physical disk. (I didn't find a good section other than here, why not in the game-packs section you ask? Because I am not talking about an indvidual game-pack, & there isn't a general game-packs section)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a nice day! Who agrees and would like game-packs to be physical?! ^-^ In The Sims 3, stuff packs were physical and they didn't add many content! Finally after my break (1 month), I am wondering why game-packs aren't physical and only digital they are ALMOST like expansion packs.
