It looked in what they showed F2P. Super sad, just another way of killing off the Maxis games. Hopefully Paralives will be coming out soon to save the genre
data-informed player-centric player purchase journey - maximizing value to players, optimizing player spend patterns, and minimizing player churn.
While I already expected a f2p sims game to be mtx hell, this seems like optimized mtx hell. And potentially a GDPR violation with the whole data-informed thing? Depending on what they mean by it
in-game marketplace of content and [user-generated content] (free and paid)
I wonder how much free user-generated content there will be?
As in the past modders (i.e. users) generated an incredible amount of content for free, but I suppose if they were allowed to distribute that it would destroy the monetisation of the free-to-play game.

And that "life by you" one as well. Love seeing competition on the genre.

I mean is it really free to play if they release so many expansions again?

Without a price of entry, there will be even more DLCs and piecemealing.
