If TS1 and TS2 were available for sales via digital download through them, that would be a completely different scenario.
I thought you could still buy new copies of TS2? I bought all EPs new on Amazon with the disks like a year or two ago... (after they gave ts2 away for free on origin)
agree if ts1 was availabe for download legally i would've bought it.
The copies of TS2 that you find were distributed a long time ago and these retail sources still have them on stock. EA stopped producing and distributing them about the time TS3 came out. Once EA shipped what they had from their warehouses, the only ones left to make a profit from TS2 were the retailers.
EA wouldn't have offered UC for free if they were still making money on it. It was awesome of them to do that, and you better believe they were using it as a marketing strategy to expose Simmers to the new and shiny. =)
