User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/EA to go 100% digital. What does this mean for The Sims series and players?/@comment-67.171.95.214-20130325011807

I'm NOT looking forward to Sims 4. Why? Well, if it comes out, with so many high tech advancements, and with graphics, etc. that places such a serious demand on a computer's resources, that only those people with very high end, gaming rigs, water cooled, super powerful graphics, a TON of RAM, multiple CPUs, and a gazillion bells, whistles, and flashing lights, all costing upwards of $3000 to $8000 dollars will be able to play the frigging game! I had to wait an entire YEAR to play Sims 3. My computer was incapable of running it. I had to save for 12 months to buy a new, gaming PC. But, now that gaming PC is old, and even though I've upgraded the RAM and put in a new graphics drive, it STILL gives me a hard time every time EA releases a new expansion or stuff pack. Every patch they put out causes new and more annoying problems. I live on a very modest income, and in this current economy, I can't just run out and buy a new, top of the line gaming rig, every time EA puts out a new installment of The Sims! I love the game, but I have to draw the line somewhere. I have to say, that's it, I'm not going any further. Sooner or later, EA is going to come to realize that there are MANY people who like their games, but just won't continue to pay and and pay. EA may be a big and powerful company, but without the people who lay down the cash to buy and play their games, they are just plain out of business! No business can exist without the consumer. If EA wants to continue, they had better sit down and think about what they are doing.
