Hello,
As Linux is getting stronger thanks to Valve and Steam and as there are many Linux users being forced to play their games on Windows - I wonder if EA is going to support Linux alongside Windows and Mac? I think it would be gorgeous being able to play The Sims 4 on Linux.
As much as Linux may lack users, it certainly doesn’t lack gamers, that can be shown by Humble Indie Bundles, several Kickstarter projects, or even Steam. Also, there are new gaming computers from Alienware with Ubuntu preinstalled and new Linux platform will be soon available: Valve's gaming console.
About one and half year ago EA had their session on Ubuntu Developer Summit talking about their expansion to Linux platform. Except for two web launchers to their games available on Ubuntu Software Center, there hasn’t been much other commitment visible. Maybe it is great time to give Linux users a chance and support Linux expansion as the platform is more ready then it ever was.
Thank you very much.

The FAQ says:
Q: What platforms will the game be available on?
A: The Sims 4 will be available for Windows PC and Mac.Read more about that here:
Sorry, but that was kinda a lame answer from EA, I think zubozrout was actually looking for more than just an answer like "NO" and instad an answer that tries to explain how hard it would be to support Linux or what EA is thinking about Linux overall and maybe future plans like Sims 5 or other project that invole Linux
I was also hoping it would be available on Linux. The only reason I run a Windows System at home is because I play The Sims... If it wasn't for The Sims, I would only run Linux.
