As a Seasons owner I most especially would not get mad. It's been far too long to even get mildly upset. In fact I have been complaining of this since Seasons came out. The reason people got peeved about My first Pet was that stuff came out almost directly after Cats & Dogs and it was indeed bs. Any one who whined after this long obviously isn't thinking clearly. EA isn't going to update Seasons and neither would they go to all of this trouble with no charge. Would I like for them to refresh Seasons for free and give us what we are requesting here, absolutely. Do I think they would without charging, absolutely not. Do I care about spending what amounts to a trenta at Starbucks for something that will likely get used a bunch of times in my games, nope.
Makes sense, I just just assume to expect pushback on principle.
We've seen it happen in the industry where something is pushed out that gets players angry on principle, then it becomes the norm (take the Horse Armour infamy for example). It's the worry that if we let bs practices continue and we see the same crap more and more, eventually people care less and less about it, the greedy companies just get away with it then.
One such occurence more recently was adverts in COD. People pushed back on that. There was also full page adverts added into another game I don't care about. After the outrage, the company said "oops, that was a bug" and removed them... Yh... Of course it was a "bug". They're obviously just testing what they can get away with.
