Worries not. M. Duke has some thoughts and wishful consideration to extend TS4 for five more years. *Deep tone* yay!
Oh, and the lack of any public announcement or allusions pertaining of upcoming legacy version leads me to believe got silently dropped/cancelled. No mention of it after it got post-pone, so... will the upgrade even happen?
Good lord that article is worrying. Saying things like the biggest issues with the game are about diversity and inclusivity? Going on about how The Sims 4 is "a special place" and that everyone should play it because they'll learn about themselves and about life, saying "everyone's lives would be better"? There's a huge section about the pride flag they missed and how essential that was. It's as if the game is nothing more than an agenda at this point. He even says it's "more than just a game". I'm all for escapism and creativity but saying it's going to solve your issues is gross.
I do find it funny that he says the technical directors working on the game are "terrified" at the prospect of it continuing for a few more years, that's pretty telling. He wants it to go on for another five years!
They're so out of touch, that's what makes me lose hope.
It sounds like EA is getting 'woke'...
That only results in one thing when it comes to games.
Going broke.
Why is it nobody is pointing out that the series was always diverse - like I said in an previous post - even the Servos in Sims 2 could "fall in love" with the same sex robot or sim or whatever.
We've always been able to create whatever skin tone we have wanted, etc.
Ok - now people can dress their sims with more choices - great. There is more to a life simulation than clothes.
Why is this the marketing focus and not actual depth of gameplay actions that were once part of the previous versions of this series?
I think because it is just easier and lazier for them to focus on and to divert attention away from what they have taken away from the game.
The Sims have always been open to everybody. Even in SimCity 4 - if you closely watch the crowds who gather - there are sims in wheelchairs.
PS - not asking you Evil One - just using your post as a jumping point for my ramblings... :)
