The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis’ next social simulation. During today’s latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without energy mechanics or a subscription.
Reminder that the base game is always massively barebones and if you were only going to play that, you’d be better off playing an older sims game.
Like saving 60-100$ is nothing when the DLC usually totals in the 500s-1000s just to get a baseline experience. Pretty sure they rarely went on sale also.
Free To Play means gameplay value has been deliberately sabotaged to create paywalls.
Instead of paying once and enjoying, you get nickled and dimed which sucks all the joy out of a game.
Nah, Sims just makes 90% of it’s money off the DLC. Making the base game free means nothing for their earnings and they know it.
