Sims 5 won't be an MMO confirm!

I am still cynical about it.
I've experienced EA's take on a single player game with multi-player.
They diluted the single player experience to encourage more gamers to play in multiplayer.

Wait and see for me before I let excitement carry me away.

BINGO!
Seem this as one or the main reason to no possible to be a MMO without make The Sims a live service
Players than want connect with each other, need same packs

It not being mmo doesn't necessarily mean same as it wont be live service, which would be bad route to take.

At least they can make it as an option for those who want to play the game with other players online!

Sounded to me like the game will be on EA servers instead of on our own devices so we can invite players to join or play by ourself.

There no proof that it needs be online.

I am still very cautiously taking a wait and see attitude. It not being an MMO doesn't mean the addition of multiplayer won't cause the single player side to suffer, I have seen it in to many other titles by EA that used to be single player only. I need to see more before I am convinced, as others have said, I don't trust them.

I agree as Sims 5 may have two options and that mean will there be a balance of what options will get the most attention meaning gameplay upgrades. However, both options could still exist, and SP can still have a sandbox with no ending unlike in some other games that have SP and MP in which the SP option does have an endpoint and the MP option no endpoint and Sims had never had an endpoint due to its design and development. But everything is still speculation as there is not enough info yet.
