Will the sims 3 be safe?

Wow that does seem alarming, he is probably a speculator, because maxis wouldn't commercially sell a game if it had adware/spyware. Don't worry at all you will be able to play with your little peeps safely. The billboards won't stream from a website, how can then if your playing offline? Unless the game requires an Internet connection the advertisement is probably pre-loaded onto the games hardisk and so it would just be a billboard with different content as opposed to simlish.
