Okay guys. It's time for this poll. https://i.imgur.com/byvJYh4.png According to new job listings and several hints from the team, it could be that the next Sims games will use subscriptions as a...

Heck no. Would be another reason for me to skip the game and be done with the franchise. Current DLC is already overpriced (which is why I only buy it during sales) but subscription is a whole other beast, especially when these days everything and their mother wants subscriptions. It's "rent to play" whereas with the current system you can pick the content you want, pay for it when you want (maybe during a sale) and play it when you want. Doesn't matter if you're suddenly hit with harsh financial times. You can enjoy the content you already bought whereas, if it was a subscription service... well, I guess no Sims for you at all till you get to a better financial position.
Also, on a personal level, subscription type of games/services just don't work with me because I operate on "whims". Sometimes I just feel like playing a particular game for a couple of days, then can have months long hiatuses in-between. Sometimes I stick with one game for a long time, sometimes I rapidly jump between different games. It all depends on how I feel. I don't want to feel like I'm forced to invest time in this continuous manner in order to get my money's worth instead of operating in this natural "I play when I feel like playing" way I do now. There's been many games I have bought but only actually started playing after months and that works just fine. They allow me to invest my time and money in a way which gives me all the freedom. I also only get the stuff I'm actually interested in so any arguments about "subscription would be cheaper" is complete hogwash. Subscription service would be constant canceling/re-enabling or accepting the fact that I'm wasting money for a service I don't use most of the time and which has features I don't even care about. No thanks.
