In typical EA style, it is being said that the company is sending out surveys asking multiple questions to players and the things they expect to be in The Sims 4 title.
The survey is not being done on a large scale and it has not been officially announced. Because of their secret statistics collection, it didn’t make it to any news websites so far but is making rounds in the Reddit site. One of the questions in the survey is exceptionally interesting because EA might be planning to roll out a premium subscription for the game. It will be similar to the Battlefield games where players will buy the game and pay a sum as an annual subscription. It is a bit different because BF series gets five expansion packs in total but Sims subscribers will get all the content released during the year for free.
DLCs Made Cheap
Players are positive about this new update because they believe that there will be quality content to look forward to including skins, downloadable content, new campaigns and more. Besides, buying them all separately is definitely a pricey affair which is why they opine that a yearly subscription will be a better choice. Going by the survey questions, it looks like EA is getting ready to design the game based on customer opinion and deliver them the right packs without annoying the crowd. A list of proposed expansion packs has also been listed in one of the pages of the survey but there is no news on the rest of the questions found in it.
The survey suggests an annual subscription cost of $100 which will give players access to a wide range of DLC content and expansion packs for The Sims 4. Talking about expansion packs when there is no confirmed news about the release date of the title has made a group of players furious because the company didn’t reveal anything so far. Even during the Game Developers’ conference 2014, they spoke about concurrent actions and how the characters will be able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. It is expected to make the game more lifelike but during the conference Maxis or EA didn’t disclose a release date.
Closed Community Survey
The survey will most probably never surface out in the open because it is designed to be within a closed community. Bringing out such surveys to the public will lead to criticism which is why EA may keep it under wraps always while trying to know what players expect of them. The Sims 4 expansion packs were also proposed and it encouraged individuals to vote for the ones they love the most. Some are the pets, crime and justice, weather, magic university, rise to fame, careers and seasons among others. These could either be the entire list of upcoming packs or maybe the company is just testing waters to make sure they are going on the right track. If you have come across this survey let us know because some assume that it is pure speculation but you can’t deny that the publishers usually do such things.
