I know. It's concerning. I don't want a cloud game.

How about we stop jumping to conclusions and actaully see what Sims 5 will be like when it comes out? I highly doubt EA/Maxis wants to risk losing loyal customers with any subscrption service,unless EA/Maxis WANTS to lose money. I don't really see EA/Maxis being foolish enough to makes Sims 5 a subscription service.

This is a speculation thread. It's just analyzing the CEO's own statement. No one is saying it's definitive, only that it doesn't look great.

it's not about jumping to conclusions, we are just letting ea know that we don't want this in case they consider it.
hopefully more people think the same

i hope this is a mistake and that sims 5 will not be subscription base because there no way i went to pay for a subcription as well as paying full price for the sims5 no to a subcription service in the sims5 if i went a cloud type game might as well play an ipad game

They can have it. I'll stick to my Sims 3, Sims 4 & Civilization VI. Plus, when I can afford it, Disney Dreamlight Valley. I prefer to choose to play other online or offline.

Cloud gaming generally refers to making use of servers to stream a game to a device, also called game streaming.

Cross-Platform is a general term for being able to run the same software like game on multiple devices. In gaming it is often mentioned when they are enabling players to play a multiplayer game together on different devices, like a PS5 and a PC.

If Project Rene would be making use of Cloud gaming, there would be no point in making it cross-platform. You would just be able to stream the game on whatever device you would like.

If they go the route of a subscription only basis, I won't be buying. I know other games have done well with that but I'm just not interested (and I don't play any of those games). I'm not interested in "social interaction or competition" either. I'd just like them to make a life simulation sandbox game and leave me be to play it.

SimCity was a complete disaster at launch because of its online only requirement. A cloud-based game would be like, 10x worse. Heck, Square Enix made a Kingdom Hearts cloud-based game on the Switch. It's a disaster.
