With my pessimistic hat on this will be a shit show with micro transactions across the board “your Sim wants to go on holiday. With a subscription EA could have more incentive to enhance features over the years, I.e improve season graphics, overhaul UI elements as there’s either two sim 5 players free or subbed. I’m a feast or famine player, so I could pay £9.99/month to try a new pack for a weekend, and then not pay again for 6 months. At the moment there’s so many bugs because each expansion pack, game pack or stuff pack is optional, so there isn’t one ‘universal sim player’. With an optimistic hat on, this could be beneficial to players. Then a monthly subscription allows access to any previous and future DLC. Arcade Spot brings you the best games without downloading and a fun gaming experience on your computers, mobile phones, and tablets. If you enjoy this game then also play games Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Mystic Sea Treasures.
I’m thinking that The Sims 5 could work similar to an MMORPG expansion theme? The base game is free to play, with a limited set of items, worlds etc. My Sims has 8 likes from 13 user ratings.
This is my two-pence (iOS app designer, so in the freemium world)
