"EA wants to focus on Battlefield, Skate, Apex and The Sims going forward" so a franchise that's always been in a state of semi-washed, a service game that will die on impact, a service game that's in the back half of it's lifecycle, and, well. 1 outta 4 ain't bad.

Haha yeah about that, https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-sims/there-wont-actually-be-a-sims-5-because-ea-is-going-to-disrupt-the-sequel-model-by-shoving-the-sims-4-project-rene-and-two-other-games-into-one-massive-sims-platform/

It's insane how common 'We opened a new studio to make a triple a game, they spent 18 months in pre-production and then when we found out how much full production would cost we canceled it and shut them down' is. That's like 20 studios in the past 3 years.

Imagine how many tens of thousands of combined labor hours have been totally pissed away by an entire caste of useless management

One day we're going to hear about some studio that managed to hit high 8/low 9 figures in preproduction only to explode anyway, that feels inevitable

"Skate" lmao fuck off who are they fooling

The sims would land a solid sequel but EA refuses to allow the team to make a new game without it being cursed by some mega poison like making it an MMO or something resembling GTA online.

We just need longer dev times, just one more lane I swear it'll fix traffic, we just gotta bet it all on black and win everything back
