Very surprising. The game looked like it had a lot of potential and could've been the most popular sims alternative, but it's suddenly been cancelled.

constrained in order to not break the game.

While that's true, I suspect that whoever gets there first will get a free pass in the court of public opinion, so long as it's a single player game.

"Look how awful my Sims are" is already a recurring gag hobby, anyway.

I wouldn't give it a free pass if it ruined the gameplay and would have been easier for them not to implement.
