One of the developpers has that on its linkedin profile :
"Sims 4. Got to work on clustered servers, chat systems, scaling and performance, and other internet style stuff when it was an internet based game"

It says it literally, no interpretation, no twisting.

No. That is still just a quote from the Honeywell blog where it is used as an interpretation. I can't find that statement anywhere else. So the developer's wording was probably different from this.

Anyway the game is still internet based and you can't even install it without an active internet connection. So maybe that was what he actually wrote about on LinkedIn before his words were twisted?

You can't find that statement anywhere else ? There's a link to the page where it's taken from in the blog post. You know you can click on the link and your web browser will bring you to the linked page, right ? That's a quote from this developper's profile. You can go on Linkedin and check yourself, it's still there.

I clicked on his name and was brought to his profile. But the statement wasn't there and I am not so interested that I want to use hours to search for it. Give me a direct link or I will just assume that you couldn't find it either.

Well, you already have the direct link but you say you can't see it in his profile, I can't use your eyes for you. Use Ctrl+F and type Sims 4. If you're using Chrome, it will highlight it in yellow. There's nothing more I can do if you don't want to see it.

Well. It doesn't work. I assume that you mean Gil Colgate who actually was an EA employee?

The problem is that I can't find the statement the blog apparently credit him for on LinkedIn. And if I just search for the statement in Google the Honeywell blog is the only place that Google can find. This strongly indicates that the statement on the blog is just an interpretation of what he may have said - and likely a very doubtful interpretation.

I would like IGN or GameSpot to ask one of the directors in EA's top about Patrick Kelly's postulates that EA should have wasted a lot of money on a so-called "Olympus" project before TS4 found its right track because I am sure that we then would get our answers. But alas such gamesites are mostly interested in games for hardcore gamers and only bring news about Sims games because they feel a little obligated to do it anyway. Therefore they alas are unlikely to give EA such questions in their interviews.
