Reports are that The Sims Social, which has gone from 66 million monthly active users to just 15.8 million, will be handed off to Playfish India, which will set up its eventual closure. Electronic Arts, for its part, completely refutes the report.
“The misinformed article stating that The Sims Social is on life support couldn’t be further from the truth,” EA said in a statement. “The Sims Social continues to be EA’s top social game, supported by a dedicated team of 75 in the U.K. and U.S. and will see a robust and steady stream of new game-expanding content as it continues to build upon its thriving community and drive continued success. We have no plans to walk away from a very successful game based on one of the most popular brands in video game history.”
