JOB OPENING: Head Of Monetization & Marketplace
Based on the job description, it seems that The Sims 5/Rene will be free-to-play... I don't like this.
Forum Discussion
I agree on the subscription comment. I don't agree on the gamer vs hobbyist comment. There are people on these forums who have averaged 8 or more hours per day in the game for several years. I'm not one of them, but there was a thread sometime back in which people were documenting incredible hours. That's more than a hobby.
The reason I am saying that is because of the game itself. I have been playing this since 2000. Trust me. I have logged in a ridiculous amount of hours. The cost alone is crazy. I can honestly say I have spent thousands. That was because of the creativity factor. To me it is a hobby. I would not spend that on any other game. The game is about creativity. Granted, it has become less of a God game over the years.
I certainly do not expect everyone to agree with me on this. I respect your viewpoint.
