The Sims 4 was announced and during the presentation, Maxis confirmed it won't require online connection to be played.
'Creators don't need EA, but EA needs creators to [get] the Marketplace off the ground'
"The Imaginary Friends do get a bit quirky at night."
If true, SIms 4's alleged Businesses and Hobbies Expansion Pack could give Maxis the chance to fix Get to Work's most annoying features
Seems like EA got the message.
Good
If it were always online, I think it would have been a bigger joke than the SimCity debacle.
I don't play nor care about the Sims.
... but i think for the type of game the Sims is, it made more sense for it being a game with permanent online connection then simcity ( * cough * simvilage * cough *) was. The next step for the Sims would be kind of like a MMO type of game.
