If sims 5 is a subscription game then I won't be able to play anymore. It's not exactly cheap if you want all content for sims 4 but at least the player can decide what to get and what not. a fixed amount of money going from my bank account each month is not an option due to real life situations.
And if the base will be free with a subscription for DLC content then I will get stuck with a very lackluster and bare bone experience.
So a subscription might very well be the end of playing sims after starting to play back in 2000. Perhaps it can work for a certain part of the sims community but I am not part of that group.
