Mashable has an article about The Sims Social, claiming it’s “the fastest growing social game”. One big flaw in their article is that they call this a “reboot”. This is NOT a reboot of The Sims Franchise, it is a spin-off.
The Sims Social, a reboot of Electronic Arts’ bestselling $4 billion games franchise, has only been out of beta since last Thursday — but it already has 4.6 million people playing it daily, according to AppData, a traffic tracking service from Inside Network.
That makes The Sims Social the number 10 app on Facebook overall, and the number 6 game behind Zynga hits CityVille, FarmVille, Empires & Allies, Texas Hold ‘Em, and Pioneer Trail. Not bad for a week’s work. At this rate, The Sims Social should overtake Facebook game leader CityVille (which has 14 million daily players) sometime in September.
Stupid idiots. It’s not even a GOOD Social game.
