They do still play, in fact, The Sims 3 is about to be released. And so the saga will continue.

I didn’t think anyone played Sims anymore. It was fun but so additive about 5 years ago.

I will never touch Second Life.

For all accounts, I think SecondLife is worse. Because there, you have more options available to you. Plus, you play against other real people living through fake lives.

I don’t play SL, and I never will. At some point, given the way entertainment is going, someone will invent a device like the Matrix, and people will clamber over eachother to get plugged in to the ultimate dreamworld.

I’ll be happy when that happens. More REAL fresh air for me.

This is basically true of most video games. Why waste time improving your score or stats, on something that is completely useless?

I used to play some video games, even had a few all-nighters, but then I saw the light…and found more productive(?) pursuits.

@ Loltrain – I understand the concept of games. I play tons of games. But this has taken it to the next level of pointless. At least in other games I get to do something I might not already be able to do.

Sounds like someone forgot the point of imagination.

@ iamthediva – Thanks for dropping by! As a former Sims player I can attest to it being a huge waste of time without any expansions. It is a fun idea, but going to work to make money to buy furniture is something I don’t need to repeat after I go to work to do the same thing.

@ Tiffany – It could be. Although I don’t think The Sims has gotten to the level of some of the MMOs.

@ Jared – Agreed

Hahahaha. Someone doesn’t understand the concept of a game.

I don’t really know the Sims, but this sounds a lot like the way people have very well developed “2nd Lives” and overlook the first one.
