I love the rage over this. You've all clearly never met most of the people playing this game. They already spend hundreds on DLC, it's the majority of the game.
Frankly this is a $70 discount for most fans.
But it'll be worse now. It won't be the same as 4, but free. It'll be a glorified store with constant popups begging for money
It says a lot that it's "running alongside" the previous game. You must not have a lot of faith in your game if you're expecting your sequel to not replace the previous game.
Lolol you just described the past 10 years of the Sims. It has been, from day 1, a glorified store. And people love it.
Yep. And now it'll be much worse
🙄👌👍
Yeah, I know a Sims player and Sims 4 is literally the only game she plays. The way you or me would buy a new game, she buys a DLC. It's like it is its own gaming ecosystem for most of its players.
