Well.
Sims 4 will be my last Sims game.
Nothing good has come from multiplayer in games that don't lend itself to multiplayer.
Anyone remember Sim City (the "new" one)? Or the Dungeon Keeper mobile game?
I foresee the following (and more)
- A forced multiplayer, one way or another.
- Micro transactions and maybe rewards you can only get if grinding the game online.
- Pay-with-real-money benefits in online play.
- Again, more micro transactions... how about $1 for a chair? $2.50 for the matching table? $7.50 for a wedding dress? $15 for a supernatural state (fairy wings sold separately if you want more than the base color).
And so on.
No, I do not trust any game that proclaims "Online features". Especially not by a studio owned by EA. Look what EA did to Sim City. To Mass Effect. To Star Wars.
So no. This is the end of the line for me until I have seen hands on gameplay, after release, by people I trust, telling me there is a full game if you choose to play without any micro transactions or online features.
Yes, so much for the evolution of gaming where the focus is now on DLC and that is not necessarily bad but is when it is not done right and does not fit. My love for the Sims has waned starting with the creation of Sims 4 and the focus on less product and more money if one just look beyond the smoke and screen and shiny objects. I do remember Sim City 2013 and I also remember Dungeon Keeper which was part of an great franchise once upon an time before the focus on other things changed. The Sims series is also vulnerable to closure and can at any time and for me I would be content with the previous versions as long as I can still play them and if not oh well there is hopefully Paralives and other games waiting to be played in the void.
