The Sims series was never designed as a mobile game series. The Sims Mobile will never completely replace the PC versions (and also the console versions). We will continue to receive questionable expansion packs and accessory packs that are not actually desired or expected by the community. However, I trust the gurus to keep in mind that they have not lost sight of the real goal of The Sims and that they occasionally look into the forum just to realize that the mood is anything but good.
But even so, it's going to be a big deceleration on the main line because mobile is a fast source of money and that's what EA is all about: fast money.
Unfortunately, this is due to the current lifestyle of the actual target group: casual gamers. Due to the greatly increased influence of smartphones on our lifestyle and consumer behavior in the last 10 years, computers and consoles are taking a back seat to the average player. The Smartphones (and the tablets for sure, too) are always in your pocket and you are always connected to the Internet. I can still remember times when you could only make phone calls and text messages with these things.
