  • Pirated Copies of The Sims 4 Turns the Game into Minecraft

    Pirated Copies of The Sims 4 Turns the Game into Minecraft

    If you pirate The Sims 4, get ready to have your entire game look like a blocky mess.


    According to Playerattack, if you pirate the latest entry in the Sims franchise, the entire game area becomes pixelated.

We'll just have to wait and see if Sony actually has plans for this fan favorite ti...

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.
