actually let me add to this whole "sims 5 is going to be free" (+ microtransactions) because it is particularly disgusting with their recent history: Their rebranding is specifically and increasingly trying to appeal to children.
The way they dressed their presenter during the stream was specifically done to seem more relatable to children.
The way they already dumbed down Sims 4 is to specifically appeal to children. They even lowered the age rating.
Making Sims 5 free will make it incredibly easy for kids to get the base game (especially if it comes out on mobile) and once they have access to it, they'll pester their parents to buy microtransaction bullshit.
I am not usually one who goes for "omg they are targeting your children"-hysteria, but this one is so on the nose, it's really astonishing. They should be ashamed.

I think I'm developing a crush on my boss but also he's in a crisis mental state right now (he's stalked I think all of us) but we kind of all are (in crisis) and i'm also definitely hiding something that would give him more reason find me suspicious so maybe I shouldn't but he trusts me the most because I lied to him and I feel bad he needs support right now and to also possibly quit this job. um. help; i think.
