User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/The Sims 3: Showtime announced!/@comment-1519608-20111207061238

I don't mean to spam my blog post about this, but I did write a blog post about Showtime and the franchise's moves towards social networking. I'll re-state more-or-less what I said in the blog: I don't necessarily oppose the changes in the series in this direction because I don't believe in unilaterally opposing change simply because it's change. But I do think there's something to be said about a game that is still popular nearly 12 years after its original release that has remained, up to now, massively single-player. While there has always been a very large and active supporting community, the game itself is very one-player and, as a result, very personal for the players. Adding these new features takes away that personal feeling... but what the end result is, I can't say.
