Electronic Arts has released a good bit of information about the online aspects of The Sims 3, which is due for release in early June. The game will have downloadable content available on launch day that includes a second, separate town called Riverview. They'll also be revamping the game's website to allow the sharing of content and integration with social media. In addition, EA mentioned that the game will make use of micro-transactions, which players can use to buy things like furniture, clothing, and other items.

Greedy? It depends on how you look at it I suppose. Personally I would rather buy items I want than buy an expansion pack to get one item out of a bunch I don't want. Is it any more greedy than selling a single song online than trying to sell a disc filled with songs?

Given the language the Sims speak in, it'll be about as intelligable and interesting as half of what's on Twitter. No-one would probably notice if they did suddenly start Sims posting on Twitter!

In other words, A graphical chat room overloaded with "bars", where people go to at least pick someone up in a virtual world, then go home with them to have cyber sex?
Did second life close down or why should anyone pay for that?
