The team working on The Sims 4 has reached out to some dedicated players to address concerns about Electronic Arts (EA) being recently acquired. Many Sims 4 fans were worried about the $55 billion deal, but the team at Maxis wants to assure everyone that their commitment to a positive and inclusive game experience won’t change.
Towards the end of September, news broke of a potential $55 billion deal to take Electronic Arts (EA) private. The deal would be led by a group of investors including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake Financial, and Affinity Partners – a firm founded and owned by Jared Kushner. The initial reports stated a price of $50 billion, but it was later revised upwards. This announcement has raised concerns among various groups, including members of the U.S. Senate.
Sims 4 Team Shows Commitment to Creators
The recent changes at EA have caused a lot of concern among The Sims 4 players, particularly about whether the game will remain diverse and inclusive. While an email reportedly sent to creators suggests the development team, Maxis, remains dedicated to these values – stating their commitment to players and allowing authentic self-expression will not change – reactions have been mixed. Some fans are reassured by the message, but others worry that EA’s plans could contradict these promises. The email was first shared by creator SweetAshGamer on Twitter.
The recent acquisition has sparked a lot of debate about the future of The Sims 4 and other games owned by EA. Some players worry that the new owners, who are known to be politically conservative, might reduce the diversity and inclusivity currently found in The Sims 4, particularly when it comes to representing different gender identities and sexual orientations. There are also concerns about potential job losses at the game studio, or that EA might sell off some of its game franchises if they don’t fit with the new owners’ vision.
The developers are still working through plans first shared in mid-September for The Sims 4. Their most recent expansion, Adventure Awaits, came out on October 2nd, and players can expect bug fixes and free items in November.
