It's like prohibition, only with bits and bytes instead of rum and bottles. But, if the only way to fulfill that want is to download a torrent, then EA is to blame for that. The Sims 2 is no doubt a game that many players would love to play 30 or even 40 years into the future. A lot of gamers would kill to get into his collection and play their favourites from the past. He enjoys going back and taking a look at games from the 80s, 90s, and the early 2000s, as well as modern games. Games, on the other hand, aren't like operating systems - you don't put the entire life of your computer in the hands of them, and many are filled with bugs and glitches - but they're something everyone can (and may want to) use at any point in time. Games aren't like operating systems, which get outdated and vulnerable to viruses and malware, and eventually you'll need to disconnect it from the Internet and stop using it as your main computer (though nobody said you couldn't keep it for nostalgic reasons). Cutting off technical support for The Sims 2 is bad enough, but forcing customers to resort to piracy whenever they want to just play the freaking game? It's called nostalgia! I got a few games off GOG (including RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe) and they were fantastic! They installed flawlessly and performed brilliantly, and I have no fear of my computer dying on me because I can simply back the installer up and play on another computer without having to pay another cent for a game I already paid for. I don't care if The Sims 61 is the best game in the history of the universe - someday I want to revisit the past. GOG understands what consumers want - EA doesn't. GOG is pretty much the best option for customers who want legally DRM-free games. The big shame is that GOG.com doesn't have any Sims titles in their catalog. You clicked on "I Agree" when installing, right? Yep, guess you should've actually read the EULA - haha!" Oh, you love the game so much and don't want to give it up? Well, too bad. "Hey, we're here to take away the game that once held the title of 'Best Selling PC Game in the World'. EA can get my copy of the game - over my dead body! We paid for the game, and now they just take it back.
