Will Sims 3 be on Steam? Just wondering as it made by EA now and not Maxis

The easy way to work it out. Are there any new games from EA on steam like command and conquer or spore. No. Therefore unlikely there will be anything else new.

Uhh... what?

Anyway, seing neither Sims 1, 2 or online reached steam, i don't see Sims 3 comming either.

Also, everything in Sims is way overpriced, add some extra 10-25 bucks to go to valve pockets and you think it will be really worth it?

Sorry!

An error was encountered while processing your request:

This item is currently unavailable in your region

However if it was it would be about 40-60% more than retail so why do you care so much?

www.play.com ftw.

i have found play.com not to be as good as it used to be . Sometimes games arrive a few days let , were before they always used to be at my house on relase date guaranteed.

i use shopto.net now , free next day delivery from UK before 5.30pm . I just ordered a game 15 mins ago and it been posted , the one other game i ordered arrived next day as promised.

He did ask about whether it would be available in other regions therefore your response is not accurate. Sims3 will probably arrive on Steam.

NO ♥♥♥♥ING WAY.

Imagine buying all the upcoming expansions for Sims games on Steam. THAT would be ♥♥♥, because there's going to be a ton of them, with silly and sissy crap, like an expansion that adds Hello Kitty stuff, or one that adds ♥♥♥♥ing cats and dogs. Seriously, killing Sims on house fires FTW.

Haha, seriously. Steam Sims 3 would be nice for us Americans, but you poor Euros would probably end up spending in access of 300Eu more than we will for all the expansions, clothing packs, cities and whatever else Maxis feels like nickel-and-diming their customers with.

Fixed.

Maxis doesn't exist anymore, as I knew the company. Maxis is just a name EA slaps on the Sims these days. The real Maxis is dead, gone and buried.

^ ^ So is DICE and Bioware?

Just like everything else that EA gets it's greasy little fingers into.

I'd definitely buy a Sims 1 or 2 pack, as I don't play them very often, but installing 6 expansions is a massive pain. Last time I reinstalled Windows I spent forever figuring out what registry keys Sims 2 needed copied, and I still haven't gotten a couple of expansions working.
