The sims community took the initial announcement and did some organizing around it. I haven't launched the game since. They've been doing freebies and giveaways to try and win people back and get them to play, and all I can think of is how the new owners imprison and beat their own family members. Not that EA was a great company to begin with, but this is just really sad to hear. At least it got me playing some of my backlog instead of their stuff.
I'm so mad about it. I've been playing Sims since it first came out. I'm embarrassed to admit how much money I put into that game. As soon as the announcement that there was going to be a buy out, I stopped all purchases. But Iove the game. And I spent so much money on it. I'll probably continue to play what I have. 🫤
That being said, I did buy Paralives and while it's not the same feels as Sims, it's close. I just need a better computer to play.
