The Sims 4 was never friendly to modding
It was more friendly to modding than The Sims 3 was when it launched since the dev team went out of their way that time around to make it more difficult to mod that game at the time of it's release.
not much different from Frostbite.
Considering the only types of mods you see for Frostbite games are texture/model and nothing that's using scripts The Sims 4 is leaps and bounds more mod friendly than Frostbite. Go take a look at the mods available on the Nexus for Dragon Age Inquisition & Mass Effect Andromeda & then compare it to things like the MC Command Center, Extreme Violence, etc.
The fact that you would select whatever the hell failed engine is The Sims running now insteado f Frostbite, shows how much you know engines.
Uh hey genius where did I select The Sims 4 engine over Frostbite? Heck, where did I say anything positive about The Sims 4 prior to my above statement about it being more mod friendly than Frostbite?
Lootboxes quadruple profits, or more.
The Old Republic would beg to differ.
We're no longer talking about turning a profit of a few million after the costs, we're talking about billion. We're seeing more and more tripple A level indie projects done on bargain budgets, yet big companies can't? Don't kid yourself.
No, we're seeing Indie games getting developed through crowd funding campaigns and not spending millions of dollars on things like marketing, physical distribution, etc.
We're seeing more things like Battle Grounds, Overwatch, etc. Games that aren't these giant blown out open worlds with high fidelity graphics that can be sold for very little compared to something like a GTA5.
where does that assumption come from?
The assumption that they could do a bad job on The Sims 5? Oh I don't know, history.
Of course TS5 can be as good or horribly bad as EA makes it.
And yet you've been unable to explain why EA would make a Sims 5 at this point given how underwhelming the Sims 4 was not only in sales but with fans not to mention the Sims Team currently not being big enough to develop a full on sequel.
