The second point says the candidate will oversee pricing for all content in “this free-to-enter” game. “Own Project Rene’s in-game marketplace of content and ugc (free and paid), and manage a data-informed player-centric player purchase journey – maximizing value to players, optimizing player spend patterns, and minimizing player churn,” the first bullet point in the description reads. The job posting is for a head of monetization and marketplace for Project Rene, The Sims 5 ’s codename, and the job description also suggests a few changes may be coming to how the series works. A new job posting from EA and Maxis suggests The Sims 5 will be free-to-play from the start, whenever the life-sim launches at some point in the distant future (thanks, Kotaku ).
