Well, if the announcement is supposed to be a surprise they're not going to acknowledge it duh. The thing is that they had ruled it out in the past when asked, but they aren't doing it now so 🤔
I like evolution so I'm excited. I'll receive an eventual new game as I did with The Sims 4: with an open mind. We'll see what happens next, but really want a change, TS4 is just a disappointment for me at this point.
^ This. He's not ruling out any TS5 announcement. In fact, that "ALL TS4 news" sounds like end-of-life news to me. "This ALL you're getting for TS4 and we'll close this chapter of the franchise"
The retail system needs a complete overhaul. While it's great they added it, this system lacks some important stuff and became more and more bugged over time. The ability to open a business on your own home should be added, and some functionality from later systems like vet clinics or restaurants should also be taken into…

This game needs to be cancelled and Maxis needs to rethink all the situation with the franchise. The Sims has been launching games and packs for 20 years non-stop. The cow is so dry now they can't simply provide good content for the game. The Sims 4 has been a mess since 2014 it was very clear they would never achieve the…
This. EA can milk TS4 more years, even with its obsolete engine, and launch a new, shiny and modern game that players with better machines can play while users with low-end PCs or old PCs can still play TS4. Or whoever likes TS4
Because it's easier to recycle than creating actual new content. "Years of new content coming" yet they can't add new CAS items without recycling stuff 🤣
