We've all ticked the I Accept button as we install our games without reading the dreaded EULA... but now UbiSoft is flexing that EULA and taking away a game bought and paid for by millions of users world wide.

Surely this can't happen to simmers right? WRONG! IT CAN happen because it already HAS!

In this episode, the Three Grumpy Simmers return with blood boiling to discuss what the recent actions of UbiSoft mean to us as a wider gaming community and the actions of one developer to stand up to this injustice.

Head to https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ to learn more about what you can do to help get a resolution to the question that many of us have idly wondered but never had an answer to.
