- Endless small chopped up & incomplete DLCs like things are now, then yes sub would be cheaper for me (only because I don't play all year).
- COMPLETE DLCS, then I'd rather they stay buy to play.
Either way, IF the content has quality and soul behind them again, I'm paying no matter what the business model is.
If its a dress up & build game only, then pass.
Wouldn't your account and all game progress get deleted when you cancel your subscription? The way things are now, you can pick up wherever you left even if you play intermittently. I imagine a subscription service might interest people with plenty of time to play daily or at least regularly and maybe not that much disposable income to buy all packs.
If game packs and expansions packs were included in a subscription service then maybe.. But TS4 is like 7/8 years old, imagine paying a subscription fee that long! And what happens if you cancel your subscription fee, or subscribe 4 years down the line? How would they fairly distribute content for all players, as they’ve been known to give content away for free that once players had to pay for.. I dunno..
I think with TS4 they’ve been asking for more and more money with less and less value dlc. It would come off as greedy if they wanna try and milk even more money from their fan base imo.. How about we go for quality above all else, and a game that isn’t riddled with bugs 👀
this is a little different though there thinking about doing it we need to be clear still no @Chicklet453681
but even less so if its monthly subscription or something because i hate that kind of stuff i am not getting myself more "bills" in any shape or form if i can avoid it
and i hate when i have to subscribe to something for like month and then i only really have time to use it for 2 days worth or something cause life
also I have until now only used what i get as christmas or bday gift on my entertainment purchases so I just know that would not cover whole year subscription of any kind without sacrificing all other types of entertainment i might use it on
at least with packs you get to choose when you use money and on what
not to even talk of when game is bugged just when you happen to subscribe it would be biggest bummer on earth
I prefer to buy my games once and forget it. I admit, I just got charged $10 because I thought my free trial of Xbox Game Pass ended on Nov. 8, and I only subscribed to try out the current Microsoft Flight Simulator and Farming Simulator 2022 before I bought them. That was the ONLY time I'll do it; as they were about $100 together.

even if its good still no from me
I would most likely abandon The Sims 5 and move on to Paralives and Sims 3 if Sims 5 has a subscription model instead of expansion packs.
and it would most likely have no caw ether .
most likely I know there are some mmorpg where that works out but the sims does not lend its self to that kind of game play well
for one thing sims are way more personal then characters you play in mmorpgs .
I currently pay for an EA Play basic membership, meaning that I can play a selection of EA games for 30 quid a year and get a 10% discount on content that I want to own. It works out for me personally, because annually I would play 2 or 3 vault games with price tags of around 30 quid each. I don’t need to own those games once I’ve played them through.
As far as I’m aware The Sims 4 Basegame has always been part of that subscription service, or at least for a while -until it was available for free for all- so it’s nothing new.
I can only imagine that -being an EA title- Project Rene aka “Sims 5” will be part of that same service, that is, as long as EA doesn’t change
its current subscription plans, which are also available on Steam by the way (for EA games only).
I believe that one of the premium plans includes access to DLC - someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I would hope that customers will have a choice to either pay for one of those subscription plans or just buy and own the game, the way it has always been. Not sure how this with works with a live service / cross platform life simulator- nothing should change there, really - but perhaps this is where things will be different? We’ll just have to wait and see. 🤷🏻♂️
I have nothing against ea having a gaming subscription as they do now its a sub just to play sims I don't want to see
@CAPTAIN_NXR7
Ofcourse, that makes sense and I agree with that. I just don’t see why they would be bothered isolating one game if they already have a system in place. It seems utterly pointless, but then again, a lot of these business decisions seem utterly pointless. To me anyway. Not to 💸 business folk 💸 apparently.
In that case you’d almost expect EA to turn into something like Netflix, IF that’s their goal which is….I dunno….I’m not a businessman. I’m the exact opposite of a businessman. My briefcase would be full of Lego, colouring crayons and breakfast biscuits. By that I mean the European kind of biscuit, that is more like a cookie instead of an odd looking scone with gravy. Carrying gravy in your briefcase would be the opposite of being smart. Don’t do it. I speak from experience. It wasn’t exactly gravy, but…..ah…I digress.
I don't get it ether but I wouldn't put it past them. @CAPTAIN_NXR7
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.
