Big leak of images of the demo town just dropped. Unclear what the policy is so I’m not going to post images here

Sharing leaked images of the playtest here is a no go. That playtest was under NDA due to its extremely early (pre-pre-pre-Alpha) development cycle and shouldn't be construed as representative of anything close to the final product.

Wow this is horrible. They are trying to share with the community and things like this happen. Then players complain when EA keeps everything on radio silent lock down and beg for transparency. It's understandable why they can't be as transparent as they would probably like to be. ?

The fact that a play tester or a hacker shared this classified information is not what infuriates me the most.
It is the content creators that praised and advertised it. Content creators that would throw an absolute tantrum if THEIR content, THEIR property was shared by others without their consent. Everyone on every single social media platform would know about the injustice done to these people:

”BURN THE WRONGDOER!!! MAKE THEIR LIFES MISERABLE!”

But when it’s related to “The Great Evil EA” it is somehow A-OK.

“Oh but I didn’t sign the NDA, I’m just the messenger. Don’t shoot me.”
Oh sure, Ye absolute clown.

It is obvious that these so-called “content creators” would do anything to keep their 10000+ followers entertained, even with things they’d hate to be “the victim” of. They’re absolute hypocrites. The whole lot of them. I have very little respect for them as creators. I don’t find them one bit interesting.

Grumpy auld man rant done. Let me return to my lonely hut.

Not surprising at all.

Why do you say that?

I think its because EA always has leaks? I wasn't shocked either honestly when I heard about it. lol

I create, I've had a rant about what they are calling the next Sims game, I don't give a toss if people share my garbage. I'm also an auld wummin. There is no way to stop this and what gets me is EA's shock and disbelief when it happens all the time to them, they put security measures onto our PC's (sims 2 Securom which was breaking our PC's with two disk drives), make us play via their origin app, yet they can't protect their own property and dish it out willingly, obviously to the wrong people. In my opinion, this is free advertising, I'm wide awake.

Free advertising innit. Gets it shared all over and everyone talking about it. How many times has this happened? LOL

Nothing about this is free advertising.This leaking development and test play .That should not been leak

I am also cynical enough not to believe it's all shock and horror at so-called leaks. It's all publicity and gets everyone afire about it and interested in it. It's well known that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Another reason why multiplayer in the sims is not a good idea. People are cracking games and using trainers for games like multiplayer games all the time and resources have to be spent to prevent it.

This is and has always been my main concern about multiplayer games--the always on the internet play, if there is a compromise, it will be shared and it will be leveraged by every-chan person out there, even if only for the lulz. For those who want to play multiplayer games, I'm happy for them, but I will not be buying TS5 if it is requires always being online for solo-play. It's not worth the risk of investing all the time and energy I do building my own sims world just to have some skript-kiddie h4xx0r come along and godzilla all over it.

That said, the leak looks like they are going the direction of TS3, so I'm worried about everything being a rabbit hole. I hope they combine both TS2 and TS3 (TS2 OFB + Sim Looks/Personalities + full customisation of world maps + AND TS3 everything else)
