It is clearly Maxis' fault that Sim lovely and The Sims were bad and under-performed. RIP Sim Ant devs.

Are there multiple Maxises or some kind of The Sims Studios? What's Will Wright going to do? I'm too lazy to pull up the wikipedia pages.

the people who make the sims were literally called The Sims Studio but i think with 4 they just renamed it to another generic maxis name because maxis is a brand people like
