As far as the auto-demo timers and COVID, I was just telling my husband that as long as this has been going on they might as well turn the timers back on...after giving players a month or so heads up. Not that it will probably matter. People who have found a way to continue to play will do so and those who have more pressing needs than a game subscription, it is not going to change for the foreseeable future. No it is not fair that people might lose their virtual house to a pandemic (plenty have lost their real houses to it unfortunately), but it is also unreasonable to think that a company can just hold indefinitely something that is normally bound to subscription.

I think it is time for the timers to return. It is not going to solve the housing problem, but it could make a slight dent in the issue. I think too many who have not been affected by COVID have taken advantage of the timer situation and being able to unsubscribe at will and still keep their houses. It is just time for it to stop.
