Origin’s Game Time promotion has seen its fair share of titles offered in the past that would definitely pique the interest of any gamer worth his or her salt. For instance, in August last year, we did see Battlefield 4 for PC arrive on Game Time for free, and this time around, another title of note that ought to tickle the fancy of many a PC gamer who would want something that is far from violent, and yet is able to function as a time sink, being made available for free – for a limited period of time only, of course. I am referring to The Sims 4, which has recently been confirmed for a Mac release later this coming February.
Having said that, The Sims 4 can be downloaded from Origin for free, where you would be able to enjoy a 48 hour window to give the title a go, and see if it catches your fancy. Within that time period, if you like it, then why not fork out some money to purchase the full game? Definitely a different – and good take, on the traditional “try before you buy” scheme. I remember those shareware titles of yore, such as Duke Nukem and Doom, where you only had a couple of levels or episodes to play before you were asked to purchase the game in full.
