BioWare has reportedly lost at least half its staff, with fewer than 100 people left and the studio a ghost of its former self (www.pcgamer.com)

What about the sims

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

remind me: when was the last sims game released?

And how much did it cost? The whole thing, I mean. Must people who buy a game want to play the content so the price of said content should be included. Somewhere in the region of $1000, isn't it?

yeah, i think it's cracked the 1000$ mark for all content. barely any discounts, and lots of content that REALLY should be in the base game is gated behind dlc.

and i mean content that was available in previous games, that traditionally would have been in the new base game...

pirating is basically the only realistic way to play all of the content now.

and on top of that the game does have some pretty egregious performance and UX issues...

Especially The Sims! But also especially Bioware!
