Subscription Services in the Sims Yes or No?

I am fine with it. IF the price is decent and you'd be able to play all the DLC with it. But knowing EA... There'd probably be extra expenses too, like buying the DLC next to subscription fees.

no i clearly do not went to pay extra for a subscription in the sims 5 i went to buy packs expansion at a normal price range and not have to pay extra

I have played a game, two in fact, where it was required to pay each month. If you don't, you can't play. Life sometimes can get dicey financially. I would much rather NOT have to depend on a paycheck coming in, the bills be 'normal' and that we have the funds in the bank in order for me to play my game. I purchase the game to start with and in some cases the cost is too high for the content in the base game, as it is. I should be able to play it when the funds are not there. Please, don't fleece your community, EA. I'm not in the least bit interested in playing this game online!

Subscriptions are the worst piece of hell! I hate it and i would call the sims 5 a day.

If they go to pay to play and online only I am done with the Sims. I too have been in the position of having an unstable pay check and having to eliminate extras to make ends meet. I also see nothing good coming from a game like the Sims being online. Are they going to rate the game mature and restrict it to 18+ or are they going to eliminate most romance. I don't want to send a sim out to flirt then find out the person behind the other sim is a minor (no just no). Also, how do you prevent bullying and harassment, because it will happen. That's a lot of moderation to pay for. J would be OK if online features were an optional extra, but I want my private world and what ever stories I tell to remain mine.

Absolutely hell to the no. EA would truly sink to a new low to make you pay a monthly subscription FOR A SINGLE PLAYER GAME. Honestly, this would be the action that finally pushes me away from The Sims.

I never did MMORPGs that much, and I've deleted all freemium games off my phone.

No! No way, no how! Absolutely not!

There is nothing that they could ever offer in a subscription service that would entice me into paying every single month. I don't play the game that often, not on a regular daily basis that I could justify that expense. And with how lacking the amount of TS4's content has been and all of the restrictions tied to it, if that's an indication of how they're going in the future? Then that's a He77-to-the-No!

A game is not like streaming movies or TV shows on Netflix and Hulu. Netflix is constantly adding new content which keeps it fresh, A game would not be adding content monthly or weekly.

They obviously didn't learn their lesson with TS4 .... or they're just wanting to kill the franchise and be done. Maybe that's why they've been working so hard to bring in a new generation of players, so that the "old" fans (who threw a fit about an always online Sims 4) would walk away and the "new" fans would be more receptive to a subscription service.

That's ok tho, cause there's still Paralives in development. And who knows, maybe the upcoming game that Paradox Techtonic is working on will also be a Life Sim game as well. So, soon there could be other games in this genre that will help scratch-the-itch if EA decides to alienate the majority of their fan base.

And we'll still be able to play the older Sims games, so yeah ..... not gonna happen from this chick!

Hard pass. I can see it and respect it being subscription for any multiplayer, but not for a single player experience with the base game and dlc.

All I care to say is that I do not touch subscription games. If Sims becomes defined by a pay to play mindset instead of pick and choose your experience, then I will have no problem passing on anything else made of the IP.
