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

Just want to note that "excited" sits at 8% right now. Not bad considering 11% of Americans apparently own an Alexa device. (Might be a bit higher as that was as of a year ago.) FWIW, if I did have one I'd probably only use it to check the weather and change the music, but if half or more of Simmers owning one are into Sims-related use, that's a decent number.

I don't have or plan to ever get alexa or anything like it so I really don't care.

I don't have Alexa, the Echo Dot or Siri and I turned off Cortana on my desktop, so it's not something I'll use. But, I'm sure there are others that will have fun with it, so I don't have a problem with it. *shrugs*

It's a 'neato' for me. Doesn't really affect me much as I don't have an Alexa or smart speaker, nor a place that could really take advantage of it. For those that really like their Sim music though, it should be nice, and I can see some potential quiz shows made out of the multiplayer trivia.

Nope, didn't change my mind.

ETA:
Just to add one thing I do care about is that we aren't playing a free to play game and it feels like they are sponsoring things and people, like that girl I never heard of and now this video that sorta feels like a comercial. It just isn't something other games I play have happening in them.

8% based on 4 votes compared to 11% of a population in the millions. Not bad? I’m not sure how you got to that conclusion.

LMAO, no.

Since I can download the app on muy device, I can use that app. I am not using anything in that except to listening to the Sims 4 Soundtrack

It's neat? Question mark? I have Google Home instead of Alexa. But if I had an Alexa, I probably wouldn't bother with the app either. But still, more options for more people.

I wonder if this will end up like Lin-Z, and the Alexas will prevent people from traveling or saving their lives.

Are they trying to sell copies of The Sims 4 or Alexa enabled devices......? Either way this has nothing to do with the game. Not sure why they needed to live stream it as if it’s something important.

It isn’t technically the game, it’s just trivia and sims music that you can now access with Alexa
