I have ADHD and other sensory issues. I am easily distracted by any visual stimuli, to such a degree that I cannot even have a flashing notification dot on my phone anywhere in my eyeline while trying to work because I will be looking at it constantly, and cannot concentrate on what I am doing. This update will be incredibly frustrating to people like me who struggle to focus on things when there is a repeated, flashing stimulus drawing attention away from the game. I play games to relax, and this will not be relaxing.
I was fully planning on buying the new Stuff Pack on release on Thursday, but I have now decided I will not update my game and simply play in Offline Mode so long as this icon is present. As a result, I will also not buy any new packs since I wouldn't be able to download the content anyway. You have lost my business, EA.
