I think I have posted in a similar thread already, but I will post here too.
I rarely hate, but I would not buy a multiplayer game, for several reasons:
I see no reason why the things I enjoy doing in game, like building lots and societies, would be executed better in a multiplayer mode.
Considering the extreme negativity exhibited by every forum focused on sims (Carl's and Pam's excluded); I don’t see how the attitude would be any different in multiplayer mode.
I am an adult, but this game is directed to children. I do not wish to engage with children in such a way. I also agree with the concern for their well-being; and gathering from how the EA forums are managed I do not expect it to be well handled. I recently read about the Game Changer situation, and am not surprised that this is what can happen from such a system, nor about how it was handled by EA.
