So, I'm pretty sure you've all heard about Project Vie by now; it's that game that was announced that's supposed to compete with the Sims 4. The devs are even THREATENING EA with this game, saying it'll "give them something to be afraid of."
Darn! If that's true, then Project VIE might just kill the Sims' fanbase upon launch!
And that's exactly what I'm afraid of. What are your thoughts on the matter? In my opinion, it could give EA competition, but look at what happened to other games that killed their competitors. Sims is important to me, and I don't want this to happen.

You forget that people are very unhappy with Sims 4, and this game might actually have stuff they want in it. So...

Sure they are angry, but it still one of the most sold games. I'm not even a huge fan of this game in comparison to others. I also think it quite pathetic and childish to be threatening EA. If they are so sure their game is gonna be a success they shouldn't feel so insecure that they need to start threatening a company.
I remember a thread about another simulation game, I forgot the name, they also said it could compete with the sims, but many people here didn't really like it because even though the graphics were amazing the way you played was as a first person, so you couldn't even really see your character.
But if it does steal the sims fan base it's EAs own fault for not making the game able to hold up against competition.
Never trust the "it will be wonderful".

Oooh yeah! The Sims 4 needs some competition go back to its roots for real.
They've shown nothing beyond a logo and their website is literally just a domain redirect to a tumblr with the words "Project Vie".
Don't get your hopes up, it'll probably be a kickstarter that will never come to fruition.
*found it* taken from this thread
prove is a strong word considering they won't actually provide evidence, but the testimony combined with the PR behavior of Project Vie and their lack of showcasing talent is enough for me to say definitively, it's a troll or scam. Also I highly doubt EA is threatened in the slightest by this display. There's no professionalism to it at all.
I feel for the people who got their hopes up. I also can't believe how gullible the gaming press is to write articles about this game without almost any information.
A scam started by a malicious community member, that's all you really need to know.
I wouldn't rule it out if it actually becomes tangible and interesting but I don't really share the complaints of a lot of people so I'm unlikely to have much interest unless it can convince me on its own merits of its value. Just saying that it's great without any actual evidence is not something that I'm interested in.
Anyone expecting The Sims expereince (only better) would almost assuredly be disappointed.
For a player not to be disappointed all expectations based on the Sims experience would need to be checked at the door.
People have a hard enough time coming to grips with changes from one iteration to the next under the same developer.
