Why are they rebranding ?
This makes zero sense to me . There is no point to this. I know sims 4 is going to have a longer lifespan. The loading screen is terrible. But we have lot of fixes,and stuff they can add . Why waste r...

They have said that the sims4 is going nowhere and that they are going to keep adding content.
The problem with that, as their higher-ups have probably told them, is that it is really difficult to sell a five year old game to people and claim that it is still new and relevant. So that's why they are rebranding their game to make it look like it was made in 2019. New logo and new sims with new clothes that they have added.
You never played WOW and all those other many games that keep coming out for years and years - huh? There are tons that last well over a decade and people including me even do keep buying... It's not a new thing - rpgs also do it for years and years. Mobile does it too.... Isn't Free Play like 11 now?

Those are really old and a lots more are out there still getting new content made in early 2000's.
Game publishers are claiming this is also the trend of the future of gaming - for many more games...
Pretty much every example you used is of a different genre than The Sims and RPGs. Mobile games and WoW are a complete different breed not only from The Sims, but each other.
Most RPGs remain single player and offline. The single player genre is thriving. There’s even a hugely anticipated RPG coming out soon called Cyberpunk 2077. Completely offline and single player.
The only company that believed that games are heading into multiplayer online and service-based was EA. And look how that turned out; a joke. SimCity 5 flopped and the franchise has been reduced to mobile gaming scraps, Sims 4’s development was plagued, and they’re still suffering from problems from believing that nonsense.
No actually Activision and Bethesda said it well before our present CEO said it. Bethesda made a point of reminding us when they brought out their last big Fallout game and why I finally stopped playing those as I hate online. Never mind online games that are slated to go on indefinitely as those companies talked about. I don't have an issue with games going on indefinitely - as long as they are not online. I detest online games even though I have real high end internet. I have high end internet for communicating with my family - not for gaming. Being housebound stinks - so it eases that for me.
ETA - Of course it is a different genre than the Sims, I was comparing triple A games seeing there is no other game like the Sims out there that's a triple A game. How do I compare something that does not exist?
