The Sims is a big franchise with a BIG name - just like how you have to pay more for a scarf from Hermes, you have to pay more for TS DLC. Also, The Sims has no real competiton. People can protest all they like, but until an indie-company enters the field the prices will be set by EA.
Yes, EA - probably the most hated company in the gaming industry. EA might be run by evil overlords, I don't know. But one thing I do know: if they now have to lower the prices it won't be EA (or the overlords) that suffers, it will be the employees - the programmers, designers, illustrators and so on. Please have these people in mind when you cry out in outrage. Behind every detail there are people who have spent hours making it as perfect as possible. Unless you know exactly what they all do, please don't undervalue their work.
Now: Get Famous for president expansion pack:
- Gives us a new active career and adds new mechanic to every existing career - no GP has had both of these.
- Comes with a new "big" world.
- In EPs they have more room for CAS and Build items.
- From what I understand we finally get active sets and you can play in either commercial, movie or TV-series - I can't think of a GP that can compare to this.
Now as a disclaimer: I'm generally an optimistic and easy-to-please person and I might be a tiny bit biased. The Sims Superstars is probably one of my favourite EPs and I really want this version to a good expansion pack, meaning they add as much as possible.
