I really don't like the fact that Sims 4 is coexisting with Project Rene. The fact that it isn't considered a hard reset of the franchise is very concerning, combined with the Sims 4's lifespan and lack of stability being issues.
If the game is free, then there is no revenue stream so they have to keep Sims 4 stringing along for a while. Once the first DLC starts rolling out for the new game, then you can say goodbye to Sims 4.
The Sims 3 stopped when 4 was announced but the store was and is still selling content (not producing) even after 4 launched. Sims 4 Base Game was very expensive upon release and within 6 months, Outdoor Retreat came out and the money train kept rolling along. So until it starts bringing in money, expect kits and money grabs with Sims 4 in the beginning.
What I am most concerned with is whether or not we will yet again be left with a bug filled, glitchy game that gets zero support as everything shifts to the new game.
I like this interpretation better...that they're easing into Rene to be the ultimate successor with an overlap period. Though I personally look forward to the day that support for TS4 ceases.
