@Deshong04 It wasn’t my intention to talk down about the Sims games at all and some of your quotes are just rationalizations after the fact pretending that all the many expansions and later versions of the game were planned already when the Sims 1 basegame was released. They weren’t! ;)
Though I may often be passionate when I write or even in my feelings, I don't care to take it personally if someone has a differing opinion, doesn't like any game for whatever reason. I'm in it for the fun of the debate and improve, challenge my logic and reasoning.
I'm not sure where you even get "pretending that all the many expansions and later versions of the game were planned already when the Sims 1 basegame was released." That didn't even cross my mind nor something I was trying to convey. I never said that and if you interpreted something wrong, oh well.
Also you are mixing the technical problems about making the games with what you like or don’t like. But just because you don’t like a thing it doesn’t mean that it was easy to make or vice versa.
If you say so.
My interest in this discussion about Grant’s talk about the game’s future is also about what we can expect. But to have any chance to guess just a little about this we need to understand EA’s way of thinking and not just what we would like if we could get what we want and EA didn’t care about money, sales numbers and the game’s biggest customer group. Alas we don’t live in a perfect fantasy world where we can get just what we dream about and I don’t like to get my expections up to something that won’t ever happen anyway!
It's clear to understand EA's way of thinking. The evidence has been shown again and again. Many already know how EA run things. A little something called history and paying attention to what the CEO and any other influential people in the top ranks say or have said.
When TS4 finally showed a sneak peek, the majority wasn't fond of it but hey maybe that was just the early development stage right? No. Despite that, some continued to support for whatever reason even though they were not overall satisfied with TS4. Expectations the lowest when it's the fourth entry of a continuous popular and beloved, one-of-a-kind franchise. The Sims 4 and any future Sims games, if it continues, will most likely resemble a glorified mobile/console version of a goal-orientated game that plays on a PC. It has support so why wouldn't that be the most probable future when it's a whole lot cheaper to make with less resources and less development team members.
You can have false hope if you want. But me, after TS4...no more. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
But I think that I have already said about all in my mind in this discussion. So I won’t repeat it.
