Well, that would be the end of the Sims franchise for me. Bad enough we have to worry about Sims5 becoming a multi-player online game, but adding a subscription service on top of that means I will walk away without any hesitation. For nearly seven years we have put up with a glitchy, shallow game, and nothing has been easy when it comes to the 'live service' the gurus said would help them make Sims4 better. All I have gotten from this new way of doing updates and patches is a lot of stress every time a new update is released. Plus you add into this the fact many new players are younger, many of them teens, and you have to ask the question of who will pay for these subscriptions? Parents? I personally know that won't be acceptable to many parents that are struggling financially. Subscription services are okay with gamers that play other online games, but I doubt it would be acceptable to the Sims fans. Instead of changing the way this franchise has managed to do things, while becoming even more popular, why can't EA be happy and concentrate on improving The Sims franchise rather than turning it something it isn't, and was never meant to be? It smacks of EA wanting more in sales revenue while doing less to earn those dollars. And after the rollercoaster we've been on since Sims4 was released, I want to get off that ride. Unfortunately, it's looking more and more as if Sims5 will be an even bigger nightmare to deal with, and Sims4 will be the final iteration I invest in.
