- Remember to check out our August 2013 Project of the Month if you haven't already. This month we're directly dealing with stub articles.
Poll of the week
As a lot of you may know, SimCity was released with day one DLC and harsh Origin integration. The always online aspect was dropped for TS4 but there's no doubt that TS4 will require Origin to some extent. The series has always used the EP/SP model for content distribution but if SimCity is anything to go by, that could all change for TS4.
I'd like for them to use the Season Pass system, as seen in other games such as Borderlands 2, CoD: Black Ops 2 and BioShock Infinite, but as EA are profiting from charging the same price as the base game for each EP, I doubt that will ever happen.
That's all for this week. Comment, vote, whatever. Enjoy! Lost Labyrinth .svg){kind=small}
