But I also think that they trust what Maxis is doing so they will leave it up to Maxis to see how they could implement that in a good way. It could be multiplayer or it could be something simple as a gallery upgrade.
I'm pretty sure when a CEO talks about "social interaction and competition" that means "what's the best way I can nickle and dime these people into thinking that they have to one-up the Jones' with lootbox style cosmetics".
Also, Maxis-via-EA is full of people who are terribly overworked and woefully underfunded (can't even make a bunk bed because it'd cost too much on a $10 stuff pack pricetag... OK) and where many of them don't even play their own game so they have no idea the issues that the rest of us come across with just an hour of regular play.
There's a massive disconnect from the folks in charge, those actually making the game, and those who buy and play it.
It's a balance, Andrew wants every studio to generate more money so they can get more money from their shareholders. And every studio wants more money to work on their game. Maxis makes regular content in the form of packs which requires them do divide everything and set pretty small scopes, especially with stuff packs. So we the players wonder why we are not getting any bunk beds, because Maxis chose to include that in another pack that has more resources that they got from EA, based on how much money they are generating.
So the thing you hear from Andrew is his side of the story. Maxis has another, and we have another one.
