what do you think ea should do to get back simmers who will move to the paralive game?

I doubt very much that Alex Masse would allow his game and game studio to be under EA's control no matter how much money they throw at him. He knows they'll just destroy all that he's worked for. If he wants, there are other publishers he can go to.

It's a small team that is expanding. Did you know that when they introduced the first Parafolk, Maggie, that their monthly Patreon income jumped up significantly? They can afford to hire more staff. What's more, they've done quite a lot in the one year since Paralives has been announced.

I don't really know what his plans are and how much drive he has to finish it on his own terms. But from the picture released they just appear a lot like stage dressing. Like in the picture you have in your signature, there are two monitors placed on top of books. And in another clip they released there was a bra flung over the stair rails. I am not too familiar with game development, but that to me appears like an awful lot of detail, like something you would do with Poser. It would be nice if he showed their character interact more with the environment, like not walk into walls, drink coffee and what not. They have been focusing on building the environment but it would be nice to see how the characters behave in that environment. A lot of people are dissatisfied with TS4 because of the way sims behave, so I think it's unrealistic to assume that Paralives will indeed be a better game, especially at this stage in its development. Not to mention that many people want different things and play their games differently.
