I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)

I agree we all have the power of voting with our money. In my case, I hope that buying Sims 3 while at the same time NOT buying Sims 4 kits will help EA see that some people care about game play more than graphics...BUT EA wouldn't focus on kits and expansions with shallow game play if that wasn't making a profit so looks like I'm not part of their main demographic.

And now with announcements this week that Sims 5 will be a free to start game that works on mobile and will include lots of microtransactions (based on EA job posting 179118 which they'd since taken down but can still be seen here.... While it's too soon to know exactly how this will unfold, I'm really looking forward to Paralives and Life By You. Both to play those games but with the hope EA may lose market share and smarten up.
