Dragon Eggs Tweet From SimGuruCopeland
May 16th
In response to a Twitter user, SimGuruCopeland seems to have (potentially) hinted that Dragon Eggs may be one generic colour when they appear (have no clue yet… other than I’d like if you grew them), and that you can influence the tint of the dragon baby that hatches by specific conversation points. Thoughts?
EA Ends Origin Pass Program
May 16th
I bet you’re asking yourself, “What is Origin Pass”. Right? Well it was a program and basically a way to stop people from re-selling their used games by limiting online and other features of a game to the original owner. Games that used this are Battlefield 3, SSX and etc. Basically it’s a type of DRM. Or at least that’s what it sounds like. Anyways, due to negative feedback, they’re getting rid of said Passes. w00t!
The passes, which require a one-time activation to access online content, have been scrapped due to negative user feedback, according to EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg.
“Yes we’re discontinuing Online Pass,” Reseburg told GamesBeat. “None of our new titles will include that feature.”
The passes have been controversial due to their restricting access to content for second-hand buyers.

On this day, May 15th 2013, we mark the 10th anniversary of The Sims Superstar which came into our lives on this day back in 2003!
This is probably one of my favourite expansion packs for The Sims franchise (*hint hint EA*). Did you ever get the chance to make your Sims famous in The Sims Superstar?

Remember Those Sims 4 Concepts?
May 15th
Remember those Sims 4 Concepts which we posted a few weeks back? Well, we’ve been tweeted by Zachary Lindelof who has told us that The Sims 4 was prototyped for online gameplay.
Patrick Kelly, who had the concepts on his portfolio, has said on his LinkedIn profile that he worked on two potential online versions of The Sims 4.
My most recent project for The Sims Label (2011 – 2012) involved creating detailed Flash mockups exploring game play and UI designs for two potential online versions of The Sims 4 (The Sims Olympus and The Sims Icarus).
EA has confirmed that The Sims 4 is an offline, single-player experience. However, they did say there will be some online features which they haven’t spoke about yet – could we get something more than social features?
Let us know what you think.
