When the review was first published in 2007, it was reported that Electronic Arts were not happy with the review and complained to the magazine's publishers and editors, resulting in the reviewer no longer being asked or allowed to write reviews for any more The Sims titles.
And the world became a worse place for it.
Jesus that got dark.

Blimey, Steve Hogarty must have been going through a rough patch when that assignment came in.

You'd never be allowed to publish that today.
Technically they weren't even allowed to publish it back then, there were consequences from EA.

Christ
I went sailing today.

Bittersweet. It was a shakedown sail with a surveyor. I'm selling my yacht because those microtransactions aren't working out.

It is a usually 30 minute comedy podcast that's basically all like this article, and Steve Hogarty is on almost every episode.
I read this in his voice which makes it funnier tbh
Is it just me or does it look like it's still rated a 5? I hope that's out of 100.
