sounds like a threat

[WaterOre]

So, EA makes a sequel to a popular game that contains fewer features than sims 3

The game isn't selling, so a designer threatens good sales or no sims 5

I guess that's one way to keep your money flowing in

This seems like the 2nd coming of msellers (RotMG inside joke)

[Kimon²]

Why the forget would we wants Sims 5 if they're too stupid to make Sims 4 properly anyway.

What does the sims 4 really add compared to the sims 3?

[Boink!]

their definition on success is a little messed up after how popular sims 2 got
either way, sims is taking a plummet anyways lol

it didn't really add anything, it removed a bunch of things though

The same thing happened to Command and Conquer. "Sales were bad. Time to move on to a new franchise to milk!"

I'm sure they're grown out of The Sims by now, so I don't really disagree with this decision, and it seems like The Sims has been dying out recently anyways.

So they just remade sims 3 from scratch, skipped a bunch of stuff, and expected it to sell like a new game?

Yeah forget them.

This forum sometimes...

Why in the world would they make a sequel if it sells poorly? Like honestly isnt it common sense that if you make a game and its poorly received you DONT go make a sequel to it?

Sims 4 will do fine anyway, especially once the expansion packs start pouring in - Same as always

Business "sense". Especially when they overlook the actual content of the reviews, and automatically assume we mean that we don't want Sims anymore.

We want a GOOD Sims game. Not a broken one. They aren't getting it, and now they're punishing us for it.

I doubt it.
