I play these games so I don't have to interact with real people, dammit.

This is one of the reason I'm not playing sims 3 anymorefrylock23 wrote...
They keep adding expansions without fixing the things the previous expansion broke, so it's very hard to keep your game working without resorting to third party mods.
Then, with the most recent expansion (also releasing on March 6), they decided to add social features to the game. Our personal pages on the website now operate like Facebook only without many options to filter the spam coming in from our various friends. Every time your Sim does something in game it's pretty much spammed to your wall and to your friends' walls and to the friends of your friends walls. Instead of making things more social, it's been irritating and people are defriending each other to stop the spam.
All of this is in preparation for Showtime where we will now be expected to send our Sims out to our friends' games to perform. We will be paying full price for an expansion in which a full third of the items will be locked away until we achieve so many performances in other games and host an equal number of performances for others' Sims in our own games. So, while you can choose not to use the social features and share you Sims with others and vice versa, you voluntarily give up having access to about 1/3 of the items of the in the EP you still pay full price for.
You also now have in game chat and features that will spam you with notices telling when any of your friends are playing and anytime they make any in-game achievement because you really always wanted to know when their Sims burned food or uclogged a toilet because it wasn't exciting enough when your own did it.
The thing is, instead of adding these social notices and features via the expansion, they've been adding them via patches and updates where you would expect them to be fixing the many bugs they still haven't fixed. So, no matter what, even if you don't buy Showtime, you still will be getting them.
So, instead of a nice little single player sandbox, The Sims is now being trended more towards a Zynga-style social experience. But, the CEO of EA has pretty much gone on record as saying that all the games they make will include social style play from now on which is where I think the ME3 MP came from, too.
That's like saying there's a time in life to grow up from watching movies, reading books or listening to music :/MACharlie1 wrote...
