EA maybe planning a reality television show based on its popular video game The Sims. In an article posted by Reuters, Jan Bolz, vice president of marketing and sales for EA Europe commented:

"One idea could be that you're controlling a family, telling them when to go to the kitchen and when to go to the bedroom, and with this mechanism you have gamers all over the world 'playing the show'," said Jan Bolz, vice president of marketing and sales for EA Europe.

According to the article, the proposed show, which might involve viewers voting on possible actions, is still in the early stages, but EA confirmed it is in talks with several TV production companies.
