I've spent hundreds of dollars on a game I've been unable to play for months because of this issue. At what point does compensation or a class action lawsuit take place?
@vnwjyr2ozh2i My thoughts exactly! We have purchased every piece of DLC for Sims 4 and my wife hasn't been able to play since August 7th. We have contacted EA several times and all they can tell us is that it is a known issue and that they are working on a fix. Not good enough! They need to fix it ASAP and the people effected by THEIR problem should be compensated. The next expansion pack would be a GREAT start
