January 2020 Lunar New Year Steam sale!

@Chiixsanne That's great! Not that you're poor, but that you got a new world with your points. Being poor is okay too, cause you got the Sims 3 so don't need money to go out anymore! :lol:

@Babykittyjade You're welcome :)

Thanks for the reminder!

I'm going to get some SPs (I only have High End Loft as of now), probably Master Suite, Outdoor Living and maybe Diesel. Do you guys recommend anything else?

As for EPs, I think I'm good

• Occult and pets don't interest me so it's a not for SPN and Pets
  
• Into the future doesn't seem appealing either
  
• I don't see the point of Showtime with LN installed and Simport being a mess
  
• I might be interested in Island Paradise but I'm scared my computer might start lagging with it installed (I have all the other EPs and it runs great so far. I don't want to buy it and have it mess up my game.

Yeah now I'm stuck home redoing my cc folder since I'm a big cc user (I originaly had base + 2 packs on origin but since it never get on great sales like Steam and I prefer steam anyway I bought everything there like I said but since I updated my computer to win 10 like 2 days ago I deleted my whole sims 3 cc folder thinking I won't play it soon since I'm more into sims 4 lately.... Until I see that sale who ruined me LOL) :D

@puzzlezaddict I have gone through quite a bit of trouble and money to stay Origin free on my desktop and laptop. I’m going to be VERY seriously annoyed if Steam forces us to 1.69.

If patch 1.69 does come it won't be Steam forcing it but EA.

@ScottDemon Won't it be up to Steam as to whether or not to accept it?

No, Steam is a distributer they don't own the rights to the games they have to do what the Copyright holder tells them.
The only thing Steam can do is put the games up for sale anytime they choose. As well as remove the games from their store.

It's even more hands-off. On Steam, every game developer and/or publisher does any changes they want themselves, as they have direct control over all the files of their games stored there. Steam only handles complaints after the fact, and the point that originally led to the argument between the two companies is long gone (other companies have been requiring the use of several platforms at once for years).

No, the original argument between the two companies was a breach of contract by EA over an attempt to cut Steam/Valve out of the DLC sales by making all DLC sold only by Origin requiring Steam customers to get the DLC through Origin.

So Steam would be completely cut out or Steam customers would have to go through both the Steam client AND the Origin client?

Not exactly. Steam would get no cut of the sales but would have to maintain the DLC's on their servers without monetary compensation. Steam customers would have to buy the DLC from Origin then redeem the code on Steam and download the DLC from Steam. It's not the same as buying from Steam and then redeeming on Origin as EA already got their money from the Steam sale.

Basically EA was trying to treat Valve as one of it's studios which wasn't going to happen.
