TS4 is offline = OMG yeah!

Toddlers, pools not in base game, price hike (?), no open world = ah no, da evil ea again

Conclusion: Yep, EA is at it, again.

Personal note: I'm not really all that happy that toddlers and pools are not in the base game, or even the price hike. Of course EA could just give them more time, but they've already delayed the game once, back in 2013, to give them more time to "polish". Still though, I'll probably be getting it on release, probably just the base game, though.
