Something people really need to learn about how video games work is that they have budgets.
This looks like a reasonably big pack. It's got a lot of new animation stuff- animations are very expensive for a lot of reasons. It's got a lot of new major objects and activities. It looks to be a very expensive pack and is rumored to be the most expensive ever.
And here's the thing: That means it not having hotels is a boon for hotels.
If this pack ALSO HAD HOTELS...the money wouldn't be shoved in there to give it hotels. It'd be stripped from everything else. The hotels would be worse than a dedicated hotel pack, and so would every single other feature of this pack.
If they add hotels, it'll be a dedicated hotel pack. This isnt a hotel pack. It was not teased as a hotel pack. Its features do not make sense for a hotel pack. Ergo, it does not have hotels.
Also, Imma be real, hotels are a small part of life for your average person and I don't get the obsession with them that makes them any more important than the rental system we've had for years and years as it is...
