Where do fans get the idea that Renee will need to be online?
I am not saying it's not possibility , but its probably unlikely.

It's the fact that there is a larger trend in the gaming industry toward free-to-play, multiplayer, cloud-based games. EA's CEO has also suggested interest in these strategic goals in earnings call statements.
A. A earnings call is just to talk up investors and say future products.
2.Ea has more games than the sims.
3.This is not a big trend.Most of this trend is fighting games..
We know Renee is not going be MMO
They will Single player mode
While multiplayer mode is just option .That you need invite your friends to play.
This is a far cry how fortnight, over watch or even Roblox works. Those games work by having public servers, but this does not seem this how its going work.
1) Earnings calls are forward-looking. Sure, there is some spin but the general direction the CEO wants to take the company should be better understood through them
2) This is a fact. Sure, some are more obvious targets in this larger trend. But one cannot assume the Sims franchise is completely immune to it
3) Fighting is the genre. These combat games are prime examples of the trend
4) Yes it will not be an MMO. We know there will be a single-player mode. However, I expect social elements to be sprinkled throughout the experience. It's more attractive from a business perspective.
