For me, it's like this:
- Pay $10-$30 for a game pack I'll keep forever OR
- Download a game for free, then pay $5 every 10 minutes if I want to do anything useful.
Considering how TSM is basically a stripped down Sims 4, it's no contest.
Forever is a long time. You don't get to keep the sims 4 forever. It's on loan to you and tied into origin. EA owns TS4. Your paying to borrow it just like this new mobile game. You would only get to keep the sims 4 if EA decided to release the game from origin and offer it free. 10 years from now newer hardware may not be able to run the game. The sims 1 has a rough time running on new hardware.
I have the sims 1, 2 and 3 all on disc. None of my versions are tied into origin so yes I can keep them forever however I doubt Ill be able to play them in the future if they are not compatible with newer hardware.
