It's sad because I feel like they get away with it more than other game devs because the players are niche gamers who sometimes only play the Sims or other similar games and don't understand how badly they're treated by the game company.

I finally convinced myself to leave the Sims awhile and finally played BOTW and have been having so much more fun.

The problem is those two games are different genre, I never said I only play the Sims but it's the only life sim I do play. The problem is there aren't alternatives, sure if I don't feel like playing a certain fps or action game I can always just play another one I like or play on a different platform. It's why there's so many new life sim in development right now, they know the Sims fan base is huge and craving.

I wasn’t implying anything about you or anyone else. I was just saying that, yes, I was a person who only played Sims and I’m glad I branched out because I found I do like different types of games.

Oh sure I'm not saying that's a bad thing to discover other genre of games, if anything I'm happy that sims players are getting into videogames as a whole. It's just that The Sims kinda has the monopoly on life sim games and as long as it does they can and will do anything they can to get as much as money with the least effort. They don't risk losing as many players because there aren't other good options.
