Stop Being Cheap

sims-pets-poodle.gifI’ve gotten a BUNCH of emails for people complaining about the cost of Sims 2 and asking me to somehow wave my magic computer wand and make is so they can download Sims 2…for free.

First off, I paid for all of my various versions of Sims 2. I know it sounds bitchy, but why in the world would I give it to you for free?

Also, it would be illegal for me to redistribute my copy of Sims 2 to you. I’m sure you’re a really cool person and you help old people across the street and stuff but I’m not risking a fine or jail time for anyone.

Lastly, have you checked out the price of Sims 2 lately?

Let me back up.

You can get Sims game for $31.98 on Amazon.com. Every stinkin’ one of them.

If you’re aching for Sims 2 then you can get The Sims 2 DeluxeSims 2 and Nightlife – from 18.98.

Also, Maxis just released Double Deluxe which gives you The Sims 2, Nightlife and Celebration Stuff all starting at 30.98. [Prices include shipping.]

So, while I understand that for some of you guys 18.98 might seem like a lot of money, think of how quickly you could save up the cash.

That’s four Venti White Mochas at Starbucks.

That’s about four Quarter Pounders w/cheese and fries from McDonald’s.

That’s…well, you get the idea.

Save your money. Buy the game and start enjoying one of the most popular computer games created. I promise you won’t be sorry. And if you find a site where I can play Sims 2 online for free then let me know. ;)

    First off, does it really take that much extra effort to write out complete words and sentences?

    Secondly, there’s no way that you could get the content quality and gameplay quality that you get from the purchased game with a free play online only game. Get real and get your parents to buy you the game.
