The Sims 5 being play tested? (take with a pinch of salt)

Someone in a Facebook group mentioned The Sims 5 and one of the replies left this after stating that they have been play testing it:

I concealed their identity for their own safety and I am not even sure if I can believe it but it is still something to talk about for now unless someone can debunk it?
  • I would have loved this to be true but the screenshot he sent doesn't provide any proof he has playtested the Sims 5 or any other game. I went in and registered as a playtester. Took me 2 minutes to get to the same screen he posted.

    So yeah it's probably someone who just took a screenshot of the site which is very easy to access and claimed he playtested the Sims 5. Also I think anyone playtesting a game like this wouldn't be allowed to talk about it and especially on facebook where their name is visible they would run the risk of EA seeing it and banning them from playtesting ever again.

    That was what I thought as well
  • I did find this link, now whether that's actually for TS5 or for TS4 packs, I'm not sure.
