Maybe that Sims Mobile is taking over and that Sims 4 is done for? It seems everyone wants to get in on the mobile gaming bandwagon for some reason.
The market for mobile games have been growing in recent years and is now bigger than tha markets for PC games and console games put together. See http://nordic.businessinsider.com/mobile-games-more-money-than-console-pc-chart-2017-6?r=US&IR=T
The reason is the huge growth in the number of smartphones and the market for such games is especially huge in the very populous countries in Asia. So the game companies just has to make more of such games.
The markets for PC games and console games haven’t become smaller though. So even though the game companies have to make more mobile games they also have to make just as many games for PCs and consoles as they did earlier. They just have to expand because the total market for games has been growing a lot too.
So don’t fear the mobile market. It won’t be that market that finally will kill the big Sims games for the PCs! :)
That's the most comforting news I've heard far too long..
The markets for console games and PC games are still growing as you can see on https://www.pcgamesn.com/pc-game-sales-numbers-market-share-2017 The growth was about 4% last year. Only the market for browser games goes down.
But I haven’t seen the same in Asia as I have with mobile games where I play a game from another company. In that game I have about 500 friends and the game proposes 5 new friends to me every hour. Almost half of those friends write their names with Cyrillic, Japanese, Korean or Chinese letters. It difficult to compare for PC games in the same way. But I have read that those countries mainly play mobile games. The problem is that they often play other games instead of a game like the Sims 4 and we don’t know yet how much this will change.
