I don't know much about TS3's store. Weren't most of the packs there $20? How much were individual items (if you could get them that way?)
S4's SPs are $10 and any single item within (gameplay or not) is literally only cents on the dollar. People go on and on about the 'value' of the SPs. I'm just curious what the 'value' is for the Store's packs too? Better? Worse? I mean in terms of individual items. I know most packs cost twice as much and most didn't have gameplay items, but I don't know how many were in a pack, or if individual items cost more than a dollar, that sort of thing?
(Not using this to compare back and forth to say one's better than the other, I'm just curious for my own curiousity's sake to try to figure out what is actually the better/worst value on the most objective level I can get, with as little subjectivity as possible.)
The Store was absolutely overpriced, especially for none American players (American players got free points for watching videos on a daily basis, something that only became available for us none Americans in the end). On top of that (I have no idea if I’m allowed to discuss this but since it’s the actual topic here it’s too essential to not mention) people managed to find all kind of ways to get Store stuff for free (robbing EA, basically). There are loads of simmers who own the entire Store, if you think they paid for it, they didn’t.
What they never ever did though, was add essential features to the Store that should have been in one of the packs. I’ve never felt obliged to purchase something from the Store to make my game complete.
