@lisasc360 - my gut says that they're just going to ignore the problem.
I think almost all software developers will force everyone into subscriptions. In their defense, I think Windows is about to become subscription only, making it almost impossible for the gamemakers to do anything other than try to keep up with their subscription-based apps.
I think Windows 10 will be the last computers that can be taken offline and maybe even those computers are already infected with some type of doomsday that will trigger years later, like what happened with Flash.
Almost no one is going back and fixing anything that they broke that could potentially work offline and that people could own long-term.
When Ubuntu (the most popular Linux OS) broke the wifi on about 30% of the computers with their last update of Ubuntu 18 and then refused to fix it, I realized what was coming. And I have watched the same thing play out with multiple other softwares. They update one last time with an update that breaks the software, forcing people to update to the next version, even if that forces them to buy a new computer to run it.
I cannot play Sims 3 offline. An update will break it at some point. I am too small to fight people that are so big. For awhile I tried to learn what I needed to try and fight. And I thought the Linux community was safer. NOT! I gave up on fighting.
EA is nicer and smaller than Windows. Some of what they do is only a reaction to what Windows is doing and preparing to do. I would be shocked if the CAW thing gets fixed. They must be way too busy preparing for what Windows has planned. I expect to resort to playing Sims 5 on console and bypassing Windows all together. Or just not playing Sims at all.
In the short-term, I am enjoying Sims 3 and I will play it as long as I can. This opportunity is fleeting, like summer. Trying to protect my ability to play the Sims 3 or Sims 4 is as useless as trying to prevent fall from arriving.
