Well it would be tough for me being on limited retirement, with everything else around me going up in price. As it is I ask my kids to buy me sims 4 cards for my birthdays and Christmas to help with packs, and once in awhile pick up packs discounted if I can wait.
I bet it would be tough on many of us who are retired and play and probably young players whose parents won’t buy them subscriptions, also those who either play a lot of other games as well, or have limited time because of work. I may have to look at other options like getting paralives or picking up some of the older sims series. I used to share them with my daughters till 4 came about.
I too hope they have single player still.
