The life simulators working at Maxis have stressed that the developers behind The Sims are still committed to inclusivity, still maintain the same level of creative control, and are still focused on single-player experiences with its “next evolution” as we head into the new year.
The public statement and promises about the future were perhaps motivated by worries around EA’s impending $55 billion buyout, which would see Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners (founded by Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner) become private owners, leaving the publisher $20 billion in debt.
So, Maxis took to its blog to write, “The Sims has always been more than a game. It’s a canvas for life in all its unpredictable forms…the chaotic moments, the tiny joys, the big dreams, every identity, every version of you. And, thanks to you, The Sims has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined: a living world bursting with creativity, expression, humor, chaos, and heart.”
