Saudi Arabia EA acquisition?

I want to know what happened at Twitch Con that all the big EA Network Creators came out with a statement afterwards. 

In fact people don't leave because of the end of LGBT content or aggressive microtransactions, the issue is the investors who will get all the profits. So it doesn't matter to these players and former EA Creators if The Sims don't change.

They don't also want to support AI, for example lilsimsie (Kayla) is hostile to AI that's why she never supported inZOI.

They did not made this purchase for the sims though, they purchased it for the sports and racing games where the real money is because there's a lot of people who will basically buy the same game every year at full price with minimal changes that could have been in a free patch. 

I doubt they gave the sims any consideration at all. Might just see it as a happy coincidence to get the chance to destroy something 'woke' along with the purchase. 

I'm not overly concerned about the situation because if they chose to purchase it, they probably understand how profitable the game is and its overall value. I'm fairly confident that they wouldn't just remove mods altogether, since mods are such a crucial part of the game's identity and appeal—without mods, the game wouldn't be the same, and many players might feel disappointed or even abandon it. From my perspective, topics related to identity preferences, such as LGBTQ content, aren't something I personally focus on too much outside of trying to set my own preferences globally within the game that would help me create a heterosexual community prior to launching the game, so that doesn't affect me directly. However, I do believe there are certain things outside of just mods that could be improved or adjusted, and I think some of those changes might be beneficial for the game overall. I just hope they approach any modifications thoughtfully to maintain the core experience that players enjoy while making necessary updates or improvements. I’m definitely not into a multiplayer mode for my Sims 4 game; it’s a personal thing. I do want to be able to run a real Dine Out restaurant/hotel on my lot though.

Will probably backfire 

The problem with all these similar games is, they lack their own identity. All of them just focus on every day modern life, taking out all the fantasy elements and anything interesting. 

They need to be doing something the sims has never done to be able to make a base game appealing enough instead of feeling like a huge downgrade that would require 10 expansions to reach it's full potential. 

Like what if a company gave us the sims medieval game many hoped for, but did not get with sims medieval? Where we can build our own castles, have career paths, basically just have the regular sims game in medieval times? With fantasy stuff of course. 

Or maybe have a similar game set in the 90's or so, so there can be technology but the people wouldn't be obsessed with their phones and computers, requiring to be more out in the world which is more fun to watch. Or set in the 50's, or victorian times... Just something different. 

Or focused more on like a particular active career style, having just one active career with anything else rabbit holes. Like say, superheroes/villains. The secret identity could be a whole thing. Could also just play a regular family, within this world where superheroes exist. 

Just going with a higher age rating like 16 could also be a way for such a game to set itself apart, allowing for more mature storylines that may involve alcohol, smoking and murder but also consequences for those things. 

Just shows EA doesn't give a crap about their players, only money.

Been playing inZoi since EA keeps forcing their stupid ideas on everyone without giving us a chance to opt-out of their garbage play for crap I wouldn't take if they paid me to.  Had to reinstall sims due to a hardware change so I fired it up - Sims 4 is crap by comparison.  Controls work different, but graphics aren't cartoon like - they look real and they gave us a whole new 'setting' for free.  It's in early release, but plays really well.  Have to learn new controls, but well worth the retraining time.  If the Saudis (or any other hate group) bought EA and plan to trash the Sims (worse than EA has already) then good riddance.

Rod Humble (The Sims 2) has left EA and tried to do Life By You, we saw how it ended. The game ($20 million spent) was in a worse state than inZOI.

inZOI and Paralives still need decades of development before reaching The Sims level.

It's a lot of work to start from scratch, it's way easier to develop another game like Mass Effect (Exodus)

Maxis, the sims has been such an important part of my and my daughter's life. I cannot stand that this wonderful game will be profiting such a terrible parent company. 

There is a boycott forming across social media. With a heavy heart, I will be joining it. I have been looking forward to adventure awaits, but it and all the other packs I have looked forward to buying are coming off my wishlists. 

As soon, as soon as the sims is under the ownership of a rational company, all those packs are going back on and a bunch of them are getting bought in celebration. I love your game, I love the representation, it has been a part of my life since I was 13.
