How do you feel about The Sims coming to Alexa? Was this an exciting announcement for you?

I still don’t completely understand the point of those devices in the first place!? I guess it’s a side effect of getting old.. anyway I’m sure someone will enjoy it.

It's for lazy people who don't want to go through the work of unlocking their phone or turn on their computer and put some music on youtube, simple.

Someday we will all have an app that opens our eyelids for us.

For lazy people? What an odd thing to say.

I do have an echo dot. I got it free with my Sirius XM subscription. As you may or may not know, Sirius usually requires a specific radio (for most people in their car) to access. I got the upgrade to listen on my devices as my Christmas present to me. It came with a free echo dot.

It is not "lazy" to use it to listen to music or get updates on news as you are doing other things.

I don't understand how the sims will interact, but i haven't seen the announcement video. To answer the OP, I can't imagine using either Alexa or The Sims together.

I concur - my Echo Dot actually helps me be less lazy, because I am more motivated to do chores when I'm listening to music, which is its primary purpose. I also use it to make shopping lists very easily.

I love that I can ask Alexa to play a specific music genre, or even a specific song, without having to deal with Bluetooth, and/or the clutter of YouTube and its ads, etc. I got one because my Bluetooth speaker died, and it does everything my old Bluetooth speaker did and so much more.

As far as how I feel about Sims coming to Alexa, I wouldn't say "excited" but it's cool. I guess a notch above indifference.
