Who's still playing the Sims 1 from time to time?

i know it's controversial, but since it doesn't directly harm EA financially (cause you could only buy used copies from ts1 if you wanted to have it legally, plus the original copies tend to have more problems than the downloaded all-in-one game) i think it's a bit of a grey area. i totally understand if you feel uncomfortable around that tho.

It's not a gray area though. The only gray area is if you own the game on CD and you download something where you don't need the disk. Tons of computers these days don't have disk drives. In that case it's probably a gray area.

But if you don't own a copy of the game, and you download it, there's no gray area. It's illegal. It doesn't matter if there's financial harm in it or not.

And talking about doing it on a site that's run by the company you're stealing from is not a good idea. Sure EA is most likely to do nothing about it, because that would cost them money and time and it's not worth it. But it's still not the smartest idea.
