(Speculation) Do you want The Sims 5 to be an online/subscription game?

First of all, this is all based on speculation and i'm not trying to throw any hate towards the people that have worked in the Sims series.
As most of you all know, information about the development of TS5 (most probably) has been around since the past days, with jobs listings at the official EA page mentioning the Sims series, but there are some things that are making players worried about the future of The Sims, things like an online game, subscriptions and even cross platform stuff that can be included with The Sims 5.
Some people may want or think that a multiplayer feature is what The Sims needs, but most probably you haven't been around the series for so long, since The Sims 4 was firstly developed as an online game but was scrapped because of the failure of Simcity 2013, leaving the base game with a disastrous and a badly received launch, with missing stuff like pools, toddlers, ghosts, only 2 worlds, less traits, limited skins, no color wheel, lack of open world and many other things that haven't arrived in to the game as of 2021... If you want to read more about this go to the SimsVIP page and see their post about the development of the Sims 4.
We can't deny that the Sims 4 has been improving each year, but you also can't deny that the development of the game was the reasons why the game lacks content and why there are bugs to this day that haven't been fixed (i'm looking at you broken retail system).
Now back in to the topic, do you really think the next series needs to go back to the whole process of making it online so the game has those missing features again?
