Makes sense. They have metaphorically hundreds of DLCs each priced like a full game. There is no complete edition and they almost never put anything on sale.

If you want a complete copy of Sims 4, a game that was released one decade ago, it will run you just under $1,000 USD

Yeah, its so outrageous that some pirates would just steal all the dlc after getting the base game for free Source

This is why I'm over the god damn moon that there is finally some competition coming along, so I have an alternative to this soulless, broken, expensive piece of shit, that isn't just an older entry in the series.

Yes! Looking forward to Life By You.

I really hope they nail it.

Still I can hear some executive saying there shouldn't be a cap on how much whales can spend in the games. DLCs are limiting revenue. Instead, there should be something you can buy as much as you want without ever being satisfied
