The Sims re-release shows what’s wrong with big publishers and single-player games

Steam forums for the game are filled with people who say that EA does not include Steam Cloud support, because the implementation, which is supposedly as simple as the choice of folder and check the box.

This week I talked with two different professional games developers who previously published games in Steam, and I raised the question of Steam Clud support and achievements. As they say, it turns out that it is not as simple as these players believe in the forums, but it still should have been within the EA capabilities, even with a crispy schedule.

Yes, sometimes you can make it work at a basic level for several hours if you are already using the API SteamWorks. But even in these circumstances, the method in which the work of the game may require additional work in order to protect against lost data or frequent problems with conflicts.

Given that the game does not support achievements or really something else that you expect, perhaps EA has not used the API SteamWorks at all. (That would be an hour of additional work.)

I do not give EA passage. Four years ago EA released Team and conquest of a remasted collection4K high -class remaster of the original C&C games. The release presented a unified binary for classical games, springs and textures that were evaluated to higher solutions, improvement of the quality of life and, yes, many of the steam bells and whistles, which include achievements. I am not saying that Remaster was impeccable, but he showed much more care and effort than Sims reprint.

I love Team and conquestI played a lot when I was younger. But even a longtime C & C. A fan, like me, can easily admit that his importance in the history of games (as well as its popularity and income) is pale compared to SimsField

If EA could do all this for C & C, This is all the more puzzling that it was not worried about the reprint of the 25th anniversary SimsField

Games with one player will meet with public companies

Although we do not have a much understanding of the entire internal work of EA, there are hints of why such things happen. Firstly, anyone who worked for such a giant corporation knows that for the goal it is too easy to transmit on top at the last minute, leaving no time or resources in order to adequately see this.
