Bingo. It is all about money. They need to pay their employees, their contractors, their rent, their utilities, their own subscription services and dues, and of course the lion's share to the top of the food chain. And if they go to a mostly online service in the cloud, they have some great excuses to add advertising money to rake in more cash. However, one thing about services in the cloud: most eventually get discontinued once they become a smaller niche product and don't have the cookie-cutter mass marketing appeal. This is why there probably will either be no Sims 5, or they will rename it, or they will make Sims 4 disappear without a trace for anyone connected to the internet who did not have a base game disc in a few years, just like Microsoft's planned obsoletion and end of support life.
