@Chicklet453681 could you also clarify for ppl who are Steam users (or non Origin/EA play users):
1. Is Origin required to play once you've bought & installed game the first time? Or can Origin be disabled once you've verified your account the first time? (question stems from nightmare experience suffering PTSD from Securom and Launcher issues with TS3).
2. Is a monthy/yearly sub mandatory for EA Play/Origin just to play the game? Steam only has these 2 options as subs. Is it required that TS4 players pay these subs just to access the content they PAID for??
3. What about installing 3rd party mods from places like ATS3 & MTS? Won't Origin and a persistent online live access requirement interfere with ability for players to install mods? i.e. Can Origin be disabled once you launch the game/verify your account so game can be played offline in peace?
Perhaps the most VIP:
4. Do you really own all DLC content bought from Origin (or other places like Steam)? ie. If EA shut down Origin servers tomorrow, are Sims players facing a situation which befell Ubisoft Assassin Creed players? Or MS GFWL server. Where you lost 100% of all game progression AND installation access rights to the DLC you purchased
Thanks for the feedback! :smiley:
