“Monthly average players” doesn’t mean paying customers. They give this game away for free all the time.
Similar to when Netflix stopped gaining new yoy customers/revenue so they changed their success barometer over to “monthly viewers” instead of new subscribers.
The game has millions of paying customers. The Base game has been free. A couple times? Not for very long. The EP's & GPs for "this game" are NOT. And those are definitely selling. But i wont be getting back into that :*
I would question the claim that the game has been free a “couple of times” or hasn’t been marked down from $50 some odd dollars to $5.
@Sim_Architects I’m not trying to fight the fact that the game is popular lol. I’m just providing information on how us manipulative business people adjust numbers to create an impression of tremendous popularity/sales. Rly doesn’t need a condescending kissy face lmao.
It really hasnt been free very many times. I remember twice that it was ,like @SelinaKyles said. Ive been keeping up with The Sims 4 since 2014. And it hasnt been for long stretches of time. It has been for like a month, twice. Anyways, the base game is just one aspect of the Sims 4. Are there sales sometimes? Yes, I dont see sales as a sign that a game is doing poorly. Not everyone can afford to buy games at retail price all the time and the sales help a lot of people own all the packs easier. I dont wait for sales and they arent really that big of sales.
The sims is a 20 year old franchise and has international success. There are definitely lots of players. Im not sure how that can really be contested. From being in the sims groups alone, i see players from all over the world. Its amazing.
