    this new The Sims game promises to stay true to what The Sims has always been

    The Sims 5 will be a free-to-play game.

    Uuuuuuh huh. I wouldn’t touch anything EA with a 10 foot pole at this point.

    I’ll wait for Paralives thanks.

      To be as generous as possible maybe they’re going for a The Sims 4 approach; the base game is free, expansions cost money. I suspect though they’re going to go for a pay-to-play style game, there’ll be a ultra bare-bones base game and all meaningful content will be locked behind macro-transactions.

      The visual aesthetic of paralives seems more appealing and durable in the sense of still looking good a decade from now.
