| Feature | Official Steam/EA Version | FitGirl Repack | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Price | $19.99 (often not on sale) | Free (Archival/Abandonware status debated) | | Download Size | ~11 GB | ~5.5 GB | | Multiplayer | Officially dead (servers down) | Officially dead (same) | | DRM | EA App + Steam (double layer) | None | | Windows 11 Support | Buggy (needs manual fixes) | Pre-patched & Stable | | Installation Speed | Instant (streaming) | Slow (decompression) |
