Some people might wonder why the Sims 3 ships with $10 free credit to download items from the store, and why EA hosts a massive database of user modified content which can be downloaded at whim from the Sims site.
Why? Well, this is a game which has been purchased by over 1.4 million people. It is also a game which was pirated before it was even released. Do you smell the sea salt? Do you hear the shanties in the distance? Do you feel the phantom weight of a bulky parrot perched upon your shoulder?
