I need to be able to install mods or I won't want to play. I'd also want to be able to play throughout the night, preferable without requiring the Internet too. I also prefer buying and owning things, I wouldn't rent a game (which is probably moot as that sounds unmoddable anyway).
I don't see this coming to The Sims just because EA wants to release it for some games. I don't see Simmers wanting this, and EA'd be smart to avoid that risk.
I wouldn't mind an optional backup service but I have almost no desire to play "on the road" without my desktop and comfy desk setup. It's also too antisocial to play while vacationing, even for me, lol. It'd only be a bit useful for when I can't sleep visiting family @~4am, not needed though. Mobile gaming? Hard no. If a game can port from PC to phone then that's not a game I'd enjoy (especially on PC). I don't think that was included, but I might as well throw that objection out there, lol.
