PARALIVES EARLY ACCESS FREE
Game changers are free to cover any games they want, they are not contracted to just cover The Sims. Patreon is a choice not a mandatory direct debit that someone is holding a gun to your head over. Paralives aren’t exploiting the Sims community. The definition is: The act of using someone for your own advantage I think you need to look up the definition of exploitation. It's pretty clear that it's all a marketing strategy to promote their game through the sims Pretty obvious that that was all strategic marketing to get it out there, then sims youtubers started posting about it and many of these youtubers have made it clear that they were contacted by the paralives devs and given early access in exchange for making videos on it. The entire promotion for the game has been strategically done through the sims community, the first time I ever heard about paralives was from anonymous users on the forum posting about it and hailing it as "What the sims 5 should be" and pushing it as being exactly what the sims community want, the same kind of promotion has been going on through every sims social (instagram, youtube, twitter, etc). Well yeah, but this is a lot more than just that. Similarly to how Planet Zoo and, at least I think so, Animal crossing are pushed hard in the sims community - because it's just logical to assume that these games all appeal to very similar types of players. I'm not sure on the legalities but it seems likely that this game could be hit with a massive lawsuit pretty soon and honestly I wouldn't blame EA if they did thatĪbout your first point: that's because the sims players are just the most obvious target audience. All we've seen is a few youtube videos which could quite easily be faked and they're making six figure sums from it. For all we know this game might not even be legit. This game is being forced onto sims players through constant advertisement in pretty much every section of the sims community, they're blatantly using peoples issues with the sims 4 to make money and they're copying basically the entire premise of the sims, it's exploitation of the sims community plain and simple.
Some could call it "competition" but it seems at this point that they're just ripping off the sims teams content, exploiting sims players and making a mint from it. If you take a look at their patreon, the amount of money they're making from exploiting the sims community is something else, their patreon currently makes $28,184 a month, thats £338,208 every year from content which is purely ripped off from the sims. It doesn't take a genius to work out that this game is "inspired" by the sims but it seems at this point that they're making money off of the sims teams work. In the recent trailer they showed body sliders - an exact rip off of something the sims team worked hard to come up with for the sims 4, the UI is basically identical to the sims with the same pause-play-fast forward gameplay options, the "Parafolk" are then shown by pictures at the side of the screen which is basically an exact copy of the sims 3, then the hair colour options features the same system as the sims 3 hair options (being able to change the roots, base and tips).
And that just isn't ok really, but what makes it worse is that the game is starting to look like a complete knock-off of the sims and they're making SO much money from it.
PARALIVES EARLY ACCESS FOR FREE
Ok so you've probably all seen the stuff about Paralives being pushed around the sims community, it seems like they're pushing it onto all sims youtubers for free promotion (multiple sims youtubers in the past week have made videos on it, after specifically being contact by the developers on it) and trying to force it around the sims community as much as possible.
