The Sims franchise creative VP Lyndsay Pearson isn't worried about other developers trying to stake their claim in EA's long-held life sim monopoly; rather, she welcomes the rivalry. Speaking to PC Gamer about the series' 25th anniversary and the future of The Sims, Pearson dove a little into why she thinks the life sim genre is such a tough formula for others to crack.
"I think the reason The Sims continues to be so unique is we can offer this breadth of content through DLC and over the years," she said, adding that such a large scope is "really difficult to capture in a lot of experiences, because maybe it doesn't always make sense and it's a lot of things to get to work together."
