I have to give this a 4/10 at the most. Still unsure whether 3 or 4 in reality.

But yeah, it really doesn't surprise me that the Sims 4 is such a downgrade compared to the previous games, after all I'm seeing a general pattern forming with most EA games as of late. Most of their franchises have seen terrible new games as of late (eg Mass Effect, Star Wars BF2, Sim City) which has resulted in an alienation of the fan base and cancellation of future games and/or closure of the studio. Therefore it really doesn't surprise me that the same has happened to the Sims. EA has clearly got to a point where making maximum profit is all that matters, and they'll rush out a game before its finished regardless, while investing as little as possible in the creation of the game.
Im curious about the pros. You gave it a 3/4 and only mentioned the cons. Your sentiment mirrors my own so I’m intrigued. What do you like about Sims 4 to give it that score?
Regarding the bolded area: I don’t understand the mentality of decreasing quality to maximize profits. I feel you’re correct, but this is the pattern that usually closes the doors on a company. I just don’t understand why they’d stick their own feet in a grave they appear to be digging. Time will tell, I guess.
Edit: sorry to snip your post. But the quote was so long. Nothing wrong with it. It’s just that you already said it. :)
