I posted this in a another thread but I’ll copy it here:
EA made almost $1 billion in micro transactions alone last quarter. Not fiscal year. QUARTER. I think it’s well within simmers’ right to be legitimately concerned when the CEO of said company is talking about pushing the franchise toward a development model where they can add micro transactions and rake in more cash, at the expense of what The Sims is at its core. Not to mention EA has a lengthy track record of killing other franchises in a similar manner (rip SimCity). If the next game is still early on in its development, we may have a chance to let EA and the devs know that this isn’t what we (of course not everyone) want. It may change things, it may not. But at least we can say we tried if they don’t listen and the franchise dies.
If Sims 5, or whatever they’re going to call it, is multiplayer that’ll be the end for me too. EA seems determined to rip the soul out of this series and turn it into another always online, micro transaction infested, run of the mill MMO. I’m tired.
