This is what everyone wanted! Another "as a service" game! Oh, and look, a store front!
Would those "players" be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to "collab" with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought "Lets do that!".
Sims multiplayer sounds like it could be fun, but it is highly dependant on how that is implemented. The other "features" just sound like shareholder porn.
Me, who remembers The Sims Online: 🤣
Making pizzas in slave-like conditions
"Mmmh, this sure beats pressing fast forward for 8 hours in single player"
Pretty much exactly what I thought of.
Hell, I still have the CD installer. And I think the soundtrack CD.
I did enjoy the puzzle houses people would make though.
I gave FreeSO a try since it's an open-source implementation of Sims Online, but the hookability wasn't there. We've come so far from the days of Sims 1...
Nah, they just see all the paid Sims 4 mods and want a cut for that.
"New fix for the broken game we released out now! Only $12.99!"
I mean, it’s better than them releasing a Sims 5 and making people buy their hundreds of DLCs all over again, no?
