No Sims 5 because both competitors dropped out?
This is what everyone wanted! Another “as a service” game! Oh, and look, a store front!
and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”
Would those “players” be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to “collab” with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought “Lets do that!”.
Sims multiplayer sounds like it could be fun, but it is highly dependant on how that is implemented. The other “features” just sound like shareholder porn.

Me, who remembers The Sims Online: 🤣
Oh no, I never got to play online. Why wasn’t it fun?
There wasn’t anything to do. The whole loop of the game was basically akin to making a carnival midway and trying to sucker other players into your home to have their sims pay your sims for crap they could have used in their own home. All so you can buy better attractions for more money.
I imagine a new version would simply change the sims paying other sims to players paying EA directly.

“Mmmh, this sure beats pressing fast forward for 8 hours in single player”
Nah, they just see all the paid Sims 4 mods and want a cut for that.
“New fix for the broken game we released out now! Only $12.99!”
I’m looking forward to InZoi and Paralives!
Paralives looks smaller scaled. InZOI I’d wait and see. Koreans are the king of macro transactions…
Small scale isn’t a bad thing. If anything, all I really want are well-crafted, appropriately priced, self-contained experiences. I just want it to be a good game, and that’s all it needs to be.
inZOI on the other hand i’m not really interested at all in. The character creation stuff looked cool, but the rest of what was shown looks really jank
time to make a clone of the sims and cash in!
