    This is what everyone wanted! Another “as a service” game! Oh, and look, a store front!

    and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”

    Would those “players” be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to “collab” with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought “Lets do that!”.

      There’s two alternatives currently in development, inZOI from the PUBG devs, and Paralives from a smaller indie studio.
