Well, EA is being EA and fucking up The Sims 4. They've admitted to removing toddlers and POOLS because they wanted to add new features, like unique walk styles for your sims. Um, you can't just remove basic content that's been available in the previous games for ages now and expect people to accept your shitty excuses.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

I'm sure they'll be back for the Pool Party and Totally Toddlin' expansion packs.

This is why you don't buy The Sims until all the expansions are out. That way, you don't pay through the nose to get the game drip fed to you over the course of several years.

Am I just an idiot, or is XCOM: Enemy Unknown hard as fuck, even on normal? One little UFO slips by, and Australia wants to pull out of the Council.

Step your shit up, Australia.

You'd think people who willingly live in Earth's death zone would have some more courage.

I'd love to, but I honestly can't. I've been playing Sims for so many years, it'd be painful to wait 1-2 years after the new game's release to finally play it. Especially since I've gotten sick of Sims 3 and have had trouble finding a decent variety of games to play lately.

That seriously sounds like names and expansions they would release. I'll be waitin'.

Or just do like everyone else does and pirate the shit out of it.

EA's business practices, ironically, seem to be tailored toward breeding illegal downloads.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

If piracy's your thing, sure. Not that I'm entirely unsympathetic. I for one would never buy anything that requires Origin.

I'm still livid over the fact that EA stole the name of a company they destroyed for their shitty Steam knockoff.  It wouldn't be as bad if it weren't for the fact that Origin was one of the best developers of their time.

I think money grubbing indie devs are more guilty of that nowadays with the constant Early Access abuse. At least when Minecraft did it, you paid less money the earlier you bought it.

I'm more than a little curious about Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby, especially about where you can turn your secret base into a kind of gym.  Hopefully you can do that with NPC's and not just online with other people.

Step your shit up, Australia.
It's not just you. XCOM eats the inexperienced and the unlucky, shits 'em out, then pisses on the dump.
