If there's no single player mode then I'll pass and stick with S2/S3/S4. There's some interesting things for new games but if the future of the Sims is to be an online only experience, then I'm not interested. That is not my vision of what the Sims is about. To me, the sims is about us, the players being the ones in control over what happens in our game. However, if this is completely optional with also a single player mode within then I'll just wait for the reactions before I consider playing it.
