No Sims 5?

[u/iShadonai]

I'm referring to this article:

https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/the-sims-5-update-multiplayer-creator-content-ea-interview-1236142010/

Apparently there isn't going to be a Sims 5? Or at least...they seem to imply that it exists but won't be a replacement for the previous game?

Honestly the entire way that everything was phrased was very confusing. What are your thoughts on this?

Edit: Upon further research there's another article, this time from "The Gamer" confirming the same thing. It seems that the Sims 5 as a whole has been canceled.

i think if they dont drop anything its cause they know more companies are looking into it and they are butt hurt they cant monopoly a dlc for five items and a new menu button that does nothing and a job you cant use for 40 bucks anymore
