[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children) It takes a lot of money to make the same games for 25 years straight, change the front logo, the names of the players, make tiny tweaks and market it. Maybe they need to start releasing Sims 2025, 2026, etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Johanno@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) The problem is that they actually needed that much money for such mediocre games. They poured money into it and still made it an inferior game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] auzy1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) Sims was actually fun at the time...

I thought the sequel was disappointing. Focused entirely too much on warfare as the only viable strategy, and I missed the variety of wacky side quests and secrets scattered around the maps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago I will never forgive EA for destroying Maxis. permalink fedilink source parent
