The Sims 4 brought in almost half a billion dollars in the past year

Too bad they don't use that money to test their game or add new features instead of reusing old ones so they don't have to model/animate something new ?

Seems to me like EA sees how much money TS4 makes, and how people will just buy whatever they give us, so they take the HUGE revenue from it and funnel it towards other games. I'm tired...

If Sims 4 wants to make that Pokemon or League of Legends money, they better take a page from their page and put some dragons into their product.

That's a good thing. Looks like we still have several more years of content to look forward to. And refreshes. ?

Sometimes we forget just how big games gave gotten.

Awesome!

Hopefully some of that money goes back towards investing into Maxis. I think they actually are opening new studios but I hope that they will hire more people to help them with bug fixes and Quality Assurance as well. The game really needs it.

Maxis, please tell your bosses that there are people right now that can't even play your game because of recent bugs (like the game spawning tons of empty households). I'm pretty sure that is hurting sales.

The mistakes with your recent kit are probably not improving sales either, I mean, you had to remove the kit from origin until it is fixed...

And if they complain about money, tell them that you brought in half a billion dollars.

You are forgetting that last year many people were, (rightly or wrongly) on lockdown due to Covid-19. the rise if game purchases has likely gone up across the board. Not everybody is working at a job, after all. Some were struggling with boredom, no doubt. I'm not one to bash companies for making money. If you don't like something just don't buy it. ;)

It would be nice if they invested more of it into improving the game. Maybe hire some staff that can program, animate and bug fix the game.

I'm happy to hear that??? I wish I could have a few hundreds out of that? lol
But I want them to thrive!!

Agree. I really hope they put some of that money into the game and the team, rather than well, other places
