I wrote an article on here that was eventually closed because it was more about investing and stocks, as I've traded EA shares and wanted to give some insight into how investing in a game company is approached. It got removed because it didn't belong on the Sims forums (it was very stock oriented lol) but long story short as an investor the company your invested in is meant to oversell the virtues of its performing products to give you confidence overall in your investmentt especially when other products are failing. Talk up the good and downplay the bad.
So basically as a shareholder EA is telling me that The Sims 4 is performing very well and they expect it to keep performing generating a revenue stream until the next quarter with new content planned that will generate more profit based on the existing performance.
As a player all this tells me is more content is planned and as a player/investor it tells me they are willing to keep investing in it because the investment is returning dividends on its continued support/development.
I hope that helps explain how it should be approached. I'm not really sure why anybody would be worried though, its been well reported that the game would be supported well into the future by developers.
Honestly from a pure gamers point of view I don't even want to think of the Sims 5. I have enough games to play, about 25 different story lines to run in the Sims 4 and I still play the Sims 3 too.
