The question is not if the Sims series will survive but will a competitor survive as thus far they fail to do so. No sooner do they appear and EA sees a single thing in their game like in our Sims and EA roars and shuts them down. They can only survive if they have absolutely nothing in them like were ever in one of the sims games it seems or they are stopped.

Any thing you lib

Any thing you like in the Sims do not expect it in a competitor or EA will stop them.

Not really, nothing can stop another company making a life simulator .They can have the characters,age,go to work,pets .

You think not - they have done it before and will do it again -

EA won. I heard it was not the first time either... but I do not know what other company or companies they stopped - this was the only one I knew for a fact happened as it was instantly removed from facebook....

Lol the lawsuit was a response to the Zynga game “The Ville” which wasn’t just any old game it basically ripped off EA’s Facebook game “The Sims Social” which came out the year before.

Has nothing to do with someone else trying to make a life simulator, that has to do with copyright infringement. That’s an open and closed case. Prior to this Zynga accused EA of copying one of their games when they released SimCity Social on Facebook.
