Recently, fans of life simulators once again remembered The Sims Medieval. In this installment, the developers presented an unconventional take on the franchise — they invited players to travel to the Middle Ages, where they could create a hero, embark on quests, and build their own kingdom:
The outcome of your adventures determines the future of your kingdom. Will you create a perfect, prosperous state or turn it into a war-torn disaster zone?
The Sims Medieval has not been sold on Steam for many years, but it was available on Electronic Arts' own digital service. In May of this year, players noticed that the company removed the game from sale without prior notice.
Members of The Sims Medieval community are now sharing memories of the project, and some players regret that they never managed to buy the game for their collection.
The removal of The Sims Medieval has once again sparked a discussion about the preservation of digital heritage: due to the peculiarities of content licensing, some video games disappear from sale, and gamers are left with no choice but to accept it or look for a "free version" elsewhere.
The game's trailer is available at the following link.
