That's the problem. I have checked and am okay with the 64 bit transfer, but the people who can't play the full version with more content and updated versions of the game have to buy a brand new computer. I'm sure you are aware of how expensive they are. It's not fair to the sims community at all. They should have stuck with it or moved on to sims 5. Not everyone has the luxury of going out and buying a new PC.
But they aren't losing any content that they paid for, so how are they being screwed out of money? All the content they paid for will transfer to the legacy edition and they can continue to play. And, how would moving on to sims 5 as only 64 bit, vs continuing with Sims 4 as only 64 bit be better or different? In both cases, 32 bit players are being left behind. Again, to be honest, I'm surprised EA is giving the legacy edition a go and allowing people to continue with all their purchased content.
So, no one is being screwed out of money, except maybe EA as 32 bit users won't be able to purchase any FUTURE content, but still have all their already paid for content at their disposal. (They did say any future content, so 32 bit players might still be able to buy past packs)
What about bug fixes? The Sims 4 is a buggy mess and I don’t see them still shelling out fixes when Legacy releases. So yes, it is screwing people over. They’re left with a broken game. EA needs to fix the bugs that have been there for years (heck even since base game!) before they even think about discontinuing support for 32bit. Of course no one cares about that because hey, you probably have 64bit. However people like my mother do not and can not afford to upgrade a PC for one single game just because EA doesn’t want to fix their game before making future content 64bit exclusive. If you endorse that, then I don’t know what to tell you.
No, it's really not. They don't have a history of ending a game with no bugs. You are aware Sims 3 ended and we all now it's a buggy mess (not that I'd call Sims 4 a buggy mess, just has it's issues). And being realistic, there is no way they can fix all the bugs, cause it's a known fact that when you fix some bugs, it introduced new ones. And bugs doesn't effect everyone, and each person has their own version of which bugs are most important to them.
I do have 64bit, and, yeah, I think it stinks for the people being effected, but I also have a realistic attitude. I have a computer that matches my hobby as a gamer. I wouldn't expect to buy a 200 laptop and then play a $500 plus game on it (base and all packs). And, I could understand all the uproar if EA was like, "We're ending support, thanks for the good times... you'll have to play another game!" But they're not. They are making everything past supported by the legacy edition, 32bit old system, so players can continue to enjoy their game that they paid for up to that point.
So NO, they are not screwing anyone over. And NO, they are not FORCING anyone to buy a new computer they can't afford.
And, honestly, I think the fact that the 32 bit system is more likely the reason why someone's game would be unplayable, not EA's fault. Yes, Sims 4 has bugs, but it's not unplayable for the masses. I'm sure a stray person with decent specs will come around and claim it's unplayable for them, but again.... not the masses.
And I'm not asking you to tell me anything, so I don't know what to tell you about accepting that support will end, but people are still free to still play their game. And honestly, if it was effecting me, I'd just view it as the series ended for me. Much like Sims 1, 2, and 3 did before it. And it left the game with a bit bugs. And, actually, then I'd be able to really get mods I'd been wanting for a while now. And I wouldn't have to update mods anymore... Honestly, it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
So no one is being screwed over. I am sorry your mom is being affected. Maybe for a birthday or christmas, kids and/or grandkids can all pitch in and get mom a newer pc.
Yes, I am aware of the issue of The Sims 3 still being buggy. If you’re okay with that, then good for you. However I am not and I will not accept that as being the bar. As consumers we deserve the content we bought and it be playable. Just because they failed one iteration that gives them the pass to fail another? What? I honestly can’t comprehend how you can do the mental gymnastics to justify them failing the community like this.
When a game needs nraas or mccc to actually function like it was promised to, then we have a big problem. The modders shouldn’t be doing Maxis’ job for them. They need to get themselves into gear and fix the game. This isn’t just me either. If you look at the forums, or even news websites for The Sims, the fanbase are not happy; and for good reason, too.
