Why isn't SimFarm protected then ? It is only 13 years old...
I think games made befora a certain company was bought by EA falls under the 10-years rule (if that company falls under the 10-year rule on the first hand ofcourse). Anyway SimTown isn't in the AW-list so it needs to be updated on that game.
