Why is the Sims 3 store still so expensive???
I really want to buy some store items but everything is so extremely expensive and overpriced! It's been 6 years since they have supported TS3 and they never thought to atleast slash all the prices by...

I don't personally think EA will stop the store anytime soon either, as it still produces some revenue for them. Nor will 32bit applications disappear instantaneously overnight. However, a shift in technologies is currently happening. Most PCs are now 64bit. I can't think of a single computer manufacturer who is currently producing 32bit machines. 32 bit programs are still able to be run by 64bit machines, but compatibility for older games/software gets further and further apart with each passing year, each new OS and various continuous component updates.
The PC gaming market is moving towards VR and very high definition games. EA itself has been investing and developing VR technologies for a few good years now. Their goal seems to be to move players into an online playing field in order to expand (and better control) its properties.
Concerning TS3, the majority of its players are on Microsoft's Window System; which is who they developed things for first and then adapted/updated MAC users (2009-14). To my knowledge there has been no announcements to upgrade TS3 from 32bit to 64bit binaries for windows users; their majority market.
When it comes to TS3 being offered for sale as a 64bit game, it is possible. However, (in my opinion) very unlikely due to to a number of factors. But if it were to happen, 1) EA would have to plan and announce it within the next few years in order to get maximum results. And, 2) most likely it would be tied to Origin as a downloadable only game.
