Sims 5 won't be an MMO confirm!

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.

If it requires being online to play then count me out. Online means EA can monitor everything I do (as in all those stats they mention time to time) and it means that I can't avoid the game breaking bugs/updates TS4 is infamous for. Much prefer to play with the cable unplugged.

Online should be optional, not mandatory. Suppose my Internet goes down? Suppose EA servers go down?

There no proof that it needs be online.

And nothing in writing that confirms that offline play is possible. I don't trust them.

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.

They made it clear on the stream that project rene will not be an MMO.That single player is still a part of the sims and multiplayer is only an option.If you want someone to play with you.

Love this. :) I may yet give it a try when its ready now that is the case.

At this point in time, I'm simply unwilling to start all over again. Base games are dull, for one, but the game itself is costly, especially over time. Hubby and I are facing Retirement, which means very limited income. Probably not a whole lot of disposable income. I will stick with Sims 4 for now.

I know the feeling.
