Haven't done this in awhile, but I just thought I'd pop up some perspective with how well Sims 4 is doing, in comparison to Steam's top 10:

This contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion.

Are you trying to insinuate The Sims 4 is objectively good and we are all wrong for giving our feedback because more expensive games have less players than The Sims 4, which is constantly on sale and included in EA’s free games membership program? It just has no place in this thread.

And flamebaiting does? :p

Someone was mentioning how the forum should be abandoned, etc etc. As if there's some huge drop-off in players and that any perceived lack of population on this forum indicates that. It clearly doesn't. And unlike unfounded, subjective opinions on the matter, I provided evidence for mine. *shrugs*

Feel free to discount it all as corporate lying or whatever, but it's more proof than most people have with this kind of thing.

Does providing feedback really count as flamebaiting to you? I doubt The Sims 4 has feelings that will be hurt.

I don’t think there is any corporate lying in those figures, however, The Sims 4’s base game is quite cheap and accessible, which is my point.

You basically came into a feedback thread with no defense or commentary other than figures of a Steam chart composed of year old games, many older than TS4 and more expensive too, which still retain numbers in the high 5 figure range. That’s a pretty weak defense, which was not even needed in the first place.

To me, that’s trolling and baiting, and pretty disrespectful to people who spend a good amount of time trying to improve the game the way they like, in a section designed specifically for feedback. And then you say others are flame baiting?

Your post saying mine "contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion" was the flamebaiting, thanks. :p

My post did contribute. It gave perspective on the current game's success, based on the numbers we have available, along with comparisons to current competition. Disliking the game, or wishing it would suddenly fail because of that, doesn't mean that it actually is.

Also, a different perspective outside of confimation bias and tunnel vision is helpful, even if you don't like it. Take a look at my original post again. You're taking it out of context. I said nothing about discounting others opinions, did nothing to flamebait anybody. All I did was provide numbers that apparently upset you because they're higher than 0 or something, I'm not sure?

The game, and the series as a whole, isn't failing. In the past few years I've checked with this comparison, it has always been on the Top 10 levels of Steam, regardless of day, time, current sales or not. Prior to and after toddlers. Prior to and after vampires. Prior to and after MFP. You can take it or leave it as you like, but I just added some perspective outside of the current subjective narrative.

Thanks for the callout though. Now more people who would've glossed over it have seen it.
