In a perfect world, instead of Sims 5, we would get graphic and mechanical remasters of 2 and 3.

@brotickler123

More people are (re)discovering sims 3 and are amazed by how much more there is to see and do. It is the best one imo

@puarterquonder

From a sims3 open world, to never leave the house sims4.

@silvervixen007

It's even more disgusting when you look at HOW LITTLE content there even is in their DLCs. The basegame plus all DLC is only just 50GB. Just like complete games out there that don't cost 10000$

@sumwhere08

Let's be honest, if the sims 4 had a competitor the sims 4 probably would have died a long time ago

@smashingmolko

The worst part is how unplayable this game is without mods, and how much more the mods actually add to the game and how much better they are than anything that comes out.

@kmari9819

The lack of open world killed it for me entirely.

@pixlisreal

Let's not forget that EA made Sims 2 impossible to get (legitimately) solely because more people were asking for Sims 2 than there were buying Sims 4 dlcs. I expect the same with Sims 3 eventually

@alejandrovallencci

One line sums up Sims 4 perfectly:
“…yet another, 39.99”

@Sallyphiz

I find it disgusting how they continue to bring packs out but don't fix the ones that still don't work! They've completely robbed us!

@giulizpaviz6381

Let's not forget that it took EA 5 years to put the firemen; when the game was relased, they put in the game the fire alarm without the firemen to rescue you

@janetd5121

The publisher of Cities Skylines which basically replaced Sim City is working on a Sims like alternative, Life by You, that is supposed to go into early access soon. The most exciting thing is Rod Humble is leading the studio making it, he was behind the Sims 2 and 3.

@Rekowcski

The SIms 4 is basically an MLM at this point

@RonaTheRaven

The most DISGUSTING part is that people paid $1,094.33 for a game that is BROKEN, LAGS and has a SHOCKING amount of bugs that have been around for years. They continue to sell DLC that DO NOT WORK!!! And sadly people (including me) keep buying them because no alternative life simulation games exist right now. EA disgust me, they are a vile and money-hungry company that don’t care about players one bit.

@claire2088

I tried sim4 for a bit when it was free, it felt dystopian, sims3 is aspirational, like you can make a mad life and have you sims live out the wildest time you want, sims4 felt like the actual daily grind of life- stressed out and trying to fit too many things into the day work, sleep, eat, work out, socialise, relax . . . I play toi escape reality, not duplicate it!

@MarinaAndTheDevil

I reaaaally wanna see the guys in power at EA. From ruining The Sims franchise to cancelling Alice: Asylum, there’s definitely some incredibly greedy b*stards hiding in the clockworks.

@CaspianNomad

10 years ago no company would dare consider going up against EA to make a Sims competitor. Now they're all lining up. Paradox and the likes smell blood and know The Sims is finished. 

It's sad, but the spirit of Maxis within EA died a long time ago and the true successor to that spirit is probably at another company.

@protow5041

EA has always hated Maxis..    My EA manager always voiced his distain for every sims build he had to test, and tried to make the rest of his staff feel the same way, got in trouble with HR for calling Maxis a bunch of British cigarettes. . only using a bad word instead of british cigarettes.. I got fired for reporting him a third time

@brendalynncrafts

Another terrible thing is if you bought the game through Origin, you were forced to 'upgrade' to the EA store and you CANNOT play games you own, even on disk, without an internet connection.

@crazytastie

'How EA Killed' could be a series at this point. There's at least 7 seasons with 20ish episodes per season of content.
