Uh, let's see. The Escapist... Rock, Paper, Shotgun... Eurogamer.... Destructoid... IGN... Probably Kotaku but I'm not going to acknowledge that fetid pool of journalistic incest exists....

Yeah, remember this? It was on this blog as well as every video game website that's ever been made.
WELL LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED.

I wish I was making this shit up.
I really wish I didn't have to explain the obvious to the people still insipidly insisting that EA are being absolutely blooming marvellous people by handing out free DLC.
How benevolent.
How caring.
They lied to your face, saying it was impossible to put it back in. I called it right here on this blog.
That's not giving you something for free, that's a corporation taking away one dildo and replacing it with one with slightly less spikes, a bit more colour and maybe a party hat.
You're still getting fucked by a mediocre, unfinished game.
If you tell me that EA would have released content if this game hadn't been critically/publically derided, then you're insane.
If you tell me that the staff at EA Maxis made this after The Sims launched, as a post-launch project, you're mad. They said publicly, in an interview, publicly accessible on your very own personal computer, that it would take months.
The Sims Facebook page simply won't respond to anyone not directly praising the game.
Everyone's acting as if everything is ok whilst we descend down another micro step of micro transaction hell, full of pitchforks, broken consumer rights and three quarters of a games production being sealed into little virtual zip locked bags unless you pay EA all the money you have, steal your parents jewellery and kill your own grandmother.
But yeah, enjoy your pool.
Grandmakiller.
