It almost feels like The Sims 4 had just been released.
Nowadays, every social media platform talks about The Sims, plays videos about The Sims, links to podcasts about The Sims, and, like me, people are blogging about The Sims. In March 2020, things were about to change – but not in the way they were expected to. EA has released 9 large expansions already, yet 12 are expected until the end of The Sims 4 lifecycle.Įven though this strategy keeps current users feeding them with each DLC, it doesn’t do much in the way of attracting new ones.
WHEN WILL PARALIVES BE RELEASED UPDATE
Instead of releasing a new game every two years (like most AAA game sequels), they were keying on setting solid foundations with a solid base game and then update and add new content with expansive (and expensive) DLCs. They’ve always controlled the Life Simulation genre they’ve created and aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon. The Sims is pretty much alone in its own market, there’s not much of a competition to worry about (until now with the upcoming Paralives). Instead, Maxis and Electronic Arts opted to keep releasing mostly cosmetic but expensive DLCs. Why are people playing it again? What changed in The Sims 4 and how come that this dinosaur is not yet a fossil? What led to this resurgence of the stale-genre game? Who plays it and how? The rise of an oldieħ-year-old games are considered old by videogame market standards.Ī sequel was due for some time now, but it never came. The 7-year old game is apparently making a comeback.
