But it'll be worse now. It won't be the same as 4, but free. It'll be a glorified store with constant popups begging for money

It says a lot that it's "running alongside" the previous game. You must not have a lot of faith in your game if you're expecting your sequel to not replace the previous game.

Lolol you just described the past 10 years of the Sims. It has been, from day 1, a glorified store. And people love it.

Yep. And now it'll be much worse
