No one is questioning who is a Simmer and who is isn't, clearly you misunderstand this thread... We're discussing how if The Sims becomes a mobile only game then the game we have loved and played for decades will be dead (for a lot of us), because a mobile only game can never have the depth and the freedom of a PC game.
EA knows our point, they just trying to deflect and change the subject
They can't even give clear answer whether the Sims will stay on PC or not
Ridiculous..
Exactly. And I think that, in itself, is an answer. They won’t answer to the PC Sims game because they don’t intend on keeping it going. If they did, they would have no issue reassuring pc players (which, I have to assume, are the majority of simmers). I do fully support having the game available on console too, but anyone who solely plays Sims Mobile is not a simmer. They are simply a casual gamer. The Sims Mobile resembles the Sims in name only. It has very few similarities to the actual concept of the Sims which is a life simulator. Mobile gamers are not loyal. They will play whatever new game can keep their attention for 5 minutes in a line up, a coffee shop, a doctor’s waiting room etc. These are not true games. They are simple time-fillers. I play mobile games as well. But very few are truly innovative games, enjoyable to play in their own right and not just as something to divert my attention from a boring wait.
So glad someone said it. Just because EA slaps the name Sims on it doesn’t make it Sims. They can start baking cookies and call it Sims. That won’t make people eating them simmers.
(I have nothing against people playing app games, to be clear, not least because that would mean I have something against myself, including Freeplay for a while in the past)(it didn’t feel like simming whenever I played FP)
