It is coming because there finally is competition and options! What a doomer title!
Both inzoi and paralives are in early access, Sims 4 fully launched in a worse state than inZoi currently is.
About the AI thing in inZoi, people cannot write down the game because of that and then play The Sims like EA didn’t just say they’ll be investing in AI for games as well and selling out to Saudi Arabia. Pick your battles but be coherent about it.
The games aren’t finished but the only thing stopping you from playing them whenever they are is yourself. There won’t be a sims 5 and 4 really isn’t holding up as well as it should.
And anyways it’s not a one horse race, you can play all of them, a new life sim doesn’t have to reign supreme and kill The Sims, that’s unlikely even from a consumer awareness point of view. The wonderful revolution is that we finally have options, after years of monopoly and scam games that never came out.
The dooming content cycle is relentless is it not? I remember when iOS 26 came out, when people were excited about the windowing, some iPad users were lamenting that slide over was Gina and that was a better way to multitask. Now it came back, with the windowing added. But of course that’s not enough. Merits of the iPad as a laptop replacement argument aside, I had already predicted this reaction outcome, everything is subject to dooming these days and no one should be happy.
