I was still playing Sims 2 up until I got my new computer a few months ago and that one is nearly 16... so I don't care about that aspect at all. If they add to and improve the game to keep it playable, then great. Actually, given that there were bugs with Sims 2&3 that were NEVER fixed during their run, I'd say more time is better. It would be great to have a Sims game that has no bugs when it is completely finished. I had to turn to modders to address the ones that never got fixed with previous games. Now, whether or not they use some of the extra time to fix bugs or not... we'll see.
