The Sims 4 pixellates pirate copies

The Sims franchise has always been a favourite among software pirates, so it's no surprise that Maxis has tucked a little something special into The Sims 4. Rather than simply locking pirates out of the game, or implementing digital rights management that causes more problems than it fixes, the studio's opted for a more creative approach.

LOL. Good one about people complaining in official forums.

As for the game, I don't think it's even worth pirating.

They already found a fix for it.

This ^

I guess it was funny little attempt by devs to just troll people for fun for couple days before pirates find a way to bypass that stuff, like they always do.

Im with the pirates on this one, i dont support what ea did at all.
Good for the pirates for finding a way around this.

You don't support them trying to stop people from pirating their games?

Or you don't support everything they took out of Sims?

Most pirates will download it, play for 20mins and move on.

That's what I do.
Most of the games are so boring I feel glad I didn't support that cancer. But I do buy a legal copy if I truly enjoy a game

Give it a few weeks and the modders will get rid of the pixelation and add toddlers and pools into the game free of charge.
