I think the real news is that they are no longer making new content cause the new mainline game is now all hands on deck with whoever's leftover just working on minor updates for 4 now
Where did you see that they are no longer making new content for Sims 4? The article doesn't seem to say so and the last I heard they planned to release content for Sims 4 alongside Sims 5. FYI, I would prefer they stop with Sims 4 content.
It didn't explicitly say. I'm reading between the lines of the PR speak.
Oh okay. A while back, their VP Lyndsay Pearson explicitly said they plan for Sims 4 to continue to exist side by side with Project Rene (aka Sims 5). I was wondering if that had changed. My cynical take on the plan to keep both going is that Sims 5 is probably going to be a live service abomination, which they wanted Sims 4 to be, so keeping Sims 4 might be hedge in case Sims 5 fails hard. Of course, they could also have been lying.
