How do you feel about The Sims 5 being free to play at launch?

I must’ve been living under a rock or…well, I just haven’t played The Sims 4 in a while and I didn’t know the game had become free to play until recently. I also heard The Sims 5 is going to be free to play at launch. How do you feel about that and do you think it’ll impact the game in any way?

I’m personally just worried the base game will be more limited in features if it’s free to play but I hope I’m wrong!

Okalaydokalay,

I usually only ever play the base game so it’s fine with me. But if it’s always online, forget it. It’s bad enough I have to put up with that shitty EA launcher instead of just being able to run from Steam or without a launcher like the old days.

KindaLost,

I’m more twitchy about forced online and them trying to make it “social”. Or subscription based. Ew.

First hit being free to try and lure new people in isn’t entirely new. It will be bare bones but the base game usually is.
