So to answer your original question: Yes, it's possible that we could see the original Sims on Steam, but it would have to either be a "complete" version that includes all of the expansions, or the expansion packs would have to be purchasable DLC on Steam. Sims 2 -> promotion question -> codes and promotion. EA has gotten around this issue before by releasing the "Complete" version of games on Steam, such as Crysis 2. They would have to ensure that the non-Steam versions of the DLC (sold on Origin) didn't work with the Steam version.ĮA doesn't like this arrangement, because Valve gets a cut of the profits on the first purchase (the base game) and a cut of the profits on DLC purchases as well. So if EA wanted to release something like the new SimCity game on Steam, they would also need to release their plethora of DLC for the game on Steam as well. The point of contention between EA and Steam is that Valve requires that DLC available for a Steam game be purchasable through Steam.
