A quote from Maxoid Hydra “There will be no SecuROM on the disc and the disc-based game will have no install limits.”
Obviously most of you know this already but the title sums it up. Thread is here: http://forums.sims-community.com/showthread.php?t=65407
Lots of news sites have been covering this but it looks like the Sims 3 might be delayed. Reports from sources such as SnootySims, EuroGamer and also information from game retailers suggests that the game might not be released until August 2009 - this is backed up by reports from the Sims 3 Creators Camp of buggy gameplay and things missing.
