It's fair to be excited and enthusiastic about the future of the game. They have a huge fanbase that for some inexplicable reason, are not just willing but actually desperate to throw more money at them for content that in all fairness, should have (in most cases) been included in the main game when it was released. Whilst they retain this incredibly gullible loyal horde of fans (which I sadly include myself in) then they're going to continue to work on the game and release content for it. The Sims 4 still has a good few years in it yet - as let's face it, it still doesn't have all the features we've seen in previous installments.

If we are at all keen to see The Sims 5 and to effect change on how the content is released for it (anyone remember how content-light the base game was), then we should all stop paying for future expansions and make enough noise to be heard so that changes might actually come about. However, with the huge playerbase that The Sims has, let's face it, that's just not going to happen. So we can safely bet on many more expansions, stuff packs etc at ridiculous prices for a good long while yet. The Sims 4 isn't going anywhere and we're to blame :wink:

If Sims 4 comes to an end before most of us want it to can we all blame you? ;)

All games come to end. I don't think re-branding is going to help them. People could stop buying any time they want. Not trying to be negative but one day the engine they have will hit it limit. I am certain they not going to be able to do another 5 years of this.

But they have shown they are capable of changing large components of the engine at-will. By that logic, that means they can continue to push their limit! Besides, there are plenty of game series which are still-ongoing after almost 10 years (look at Bethesda's Games, for example)
