I hate it when EA developers lie. Like they did with SimCity 2013. First, they said "Internet only when installing the game" to "Internet always". What.... did they seriously think playing the game was part of the installation process?? Then when does it end, when I uninstall the game and write a 0 out of 5 review about the game?

Anyways, when The Sims 4 was first announced, I had high hopes for the game. Out of a scale of 100, I'd say I had a 75 score of buying the game. With each thing the developers apparently gleefully announced how the game literally would suck, the score kept dropping. If EA had any marketing skill whatsoever, it was just a pack of lies and they seem to enjoy encouraging people not to buy their games (Yes, that's a brilliant marketing technique! I can't wait for the day you go bankrupt!). It's at a -60 right now. It's so low I don't even think I'll pirate the game. Not worth wasting my time and storage space for, let alone my precious money. I don't care if EA showed up at my door dressed up as scary government troopers and threatened to search my house for my copies of The Sims 1 and 2. They'll never find my copy of those games... and besides, where's your search warrant? Oh that's right, you don't have one.
