The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC

The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis' next social simulation. During today's latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without energy mechanics or a subscription.

Ah, so the sims is dead, I see.
It's also soon to be astroturfed to hell and back with "omg let people enjoy things" and the "stop having FUN" comic any time people mention how dogshit this is.
RIP Maxis. Who knows what kinds of awesome stuff we could have had. Oh well, at least Cities Skylines 2 is on the way. Haven't played a Sims game in a long time but had such a blast with the earlier entries in the series.
RIP Maxis and like 50 other studios that EA bought and dissolved over the decades.
Still haven't emotionally recovered from Westwood
And Bullfrog
I loved Tiberian Sun and the Red Alerts
Good thing there's that spiritual successor (paralives) coming down the pike
Haven’t heard of paralives. The one I’m familiar with is “Life by You” from Paradox. I’m hoping for cities skylines integration, which is why I have my eye on that one, even if it is a different developer it’s the same publisher so there’s hope…
