Hey guys,
I'm not a regular here but my friend, Chuk (Happiness Engine) frequents this board occasionally and I thought you might be able to help me.
Last year, I bought a copy of The Sims2 (shut up) and promptly found out that it was basically unusable on my piece-of-crap Sony Vaio. I gundecked the game to a drawer in a remote corner of the house and forgot about it.
I just got a new laptop with a better processor and 1GB of RAM and so I figured I'd try to use the game...and found a severe scratch which renders the entire disk-1 (out of four) useless.
I wrote to EA Games to request a new one. Note: I paid in full for the content on the disk. I have a valid reg number.
EA told me that for $13 plus shipping both ways ($21 total), I could send the damaged disk to them and they'd give me a new copy of disk-1...otherwise, go fuck myself. So pay for it twice, essentially.
I don't believe that I company as "cutting edge" and shrewd (I have my own gripes about EA after they ran my fiance into the ground when he worked for them last Xmas during one of their infamous "crunch times") about copyright/licensing/protection as EA, never ONCE had the thought cross their minds that they could allow the paying customer to download an ISO file for free...or even for cheap once I proved that I own the rights to to use the game.
"No exceptions," they say...So I figured I'd just steal it.
I'm here asking you people to provide me with a good, working image-file of disk one of The Sims 2 and in turn, I will allow you to share my valid registration number for your own private use...if that's your bag, baby.
It's not much but it would certainly contain a level of poetic irony for me to add one more pirate to the list in response to EA attempting to give me a deep-dicking.
I leave it to you, gentlemen.
