I think this is the end of the sim series
This probably will be the end f the series. Not as in they won't make more sims 4 packs, but as in Sims 4 is the final game. The news about the layoffs are troubling, but budget cuts?They fired even...

I don't have a huge problem with the Sims 4 being their last game. I would have a problem if EA stopped developing it. It still has so much more that can be done with it. Sims 4 runs much better than the other Sims PC games, even with the bug and glitches. I think like most big companies, EA may have gotten too far ahead of themselves. You cannot make everyone happy, but listening to the community as a guide is a way to start. I just feel like they lost the vision somewhere. When it was just a Maxis studio, there was nothing I didn't love. I understand companies get acquired but forgetting that initial vision and direction is a mistake of sorts. EA can come back from this. There are some of us loyal followers who started playing as pre-teens and are now parents and adults ourselves.
If someone is laid off from a job, there are multiple reason why this could have happened. Now leaving the PC version in the background and letting Sims mobile takeover. I don't know. I am 30 something years old and don't enjoy playing games on my phone. That makes my head and eyes hurt. I will do it every now and then, but it will never be my main way of playing any game.
Hopefully, EA doing this bit of housecleaning will lead the Sims franchise out of this rut. Some of the gurus didn't always seem so professional when it came to interacting with the community. No matter how someone talks to you doesn't not mean you respond in that same manner. I would have never done that at my job. Simmers are very passionate and just want to feel like they are being heard. "Feel like", which does not mean every single little idea from a consumer doesn't need to be translated over to the game. It means using the information shared my simmers to shape the direction of the future the Sims 4.
