You can still play however you want. You're already imposing limits, so, impose some more? Money is never an issue in The Sims unless you impose it on your Sim. A half a day in San Myshuno grabbing posters and snowglobes has your Sim set for weeks.

This is and always has been a really silly viewpoint. Maybe these people do, in fact, have very real issues in their lives. Maybe playing a game to take the edge off is something they paid good money to do.

People are worried about a minimap when the game is going to require you hand hand over all of your personal data, passwords, phone number, install spyware, and have access to your computer and it's files to Take Two? Ooookeydokey.

I wouldn't even hate it if they worked properly, but they never do. You can't play the sims you want to play, you have to neglect everything with that sim, including abandoning their family and job, trying to do or find something that may not even exist due to it being broken!

And EA doesn't even make money off of it! They just wanted to make the game not fun to play, I guess?

If I can hear your infant crying in the background, you should get a free mulligan disconnect. If I have to listen to someone ignore said infant for several minutes, they should get banned for the day.

The Calypso twins were good antagonists. Their look was very Borderlands, the voice actors were great, and there was a really interesting story and dynamic between the two. It's just that Gearbox forgot to, yaknow, finish their very interesting arcs. It's like Gearbox forgot about their story halfway through the game.

It's not exactly controversial, it's EA. There's nothing Maxis could do about it, since there's no such thing as Maxis. EA does this with literally everything they touch. Hardly a controversy.
