Gamers Unite. EA please listen!
Dear EA,
I have had it! Not sure if the creators of Sims 4 are trolling us, mocking the world for all the political correctness, or down right being bad. But, I've had it. Will no longer be buying Sims 4 games, or any other Sims X of the series. I have bought almost every game and expansion of Sims since it's creation, including Sim Cities. No longer! With Sims 5, I seen a bare bones game, but it had potential. Now, I feel the fool for taking so long to see how the game really is. It's just not fun. For the longest time, I thought it was just me and my tastes were changing. Yet, when playing Sims 3, the joy of the game came back! After doing some reading and research, learned that several of us are feeling the same way. You're starting to feel like Paradox. You may make some good games, but you nickle and dime us to death, while producing bare-bone games that require more and more expansions. All the while, you break more stuff than you release. I for one, will stop supporting you with my wallet and highly suggest doing the same to others not satisfied with how this direction of the Sims is going! There are no consequences, there is nothing in this world, game wise, that matters! Sims die due to RNG. I have yet to see anyone die of having too much fun. If that were true, I would have died many times over by playing Sims 1-3, but died playing Sims 4 of boredom.
On to just games genres of games in general. Please stop trying to please everyone! You're just pissing everyone off. If you create a game for hardcore players, keep it that way! If you create a game for casual gamers, keep it that way! There is nothing wrong with creating games for certain groups, just be consistent! Stop trying to squeeze a dollar from everyone and give us the dang games we really want!!!! This is why retro-gaming has become so popular. We, the gamers, are starved for good games of the past. We don't want your water-downed, boring, and "great for everyone" games. Just be transparent in what games are for each group. While not a betting man, I am willing to bet on this, more people will come back to giving EA a chance, IF you start making the games we love again. Stop the greed, start giving us what we really want! Remember what your slogan used to stand for, "It's in the game". That is the EA we grew up or played games that we loved. This EA "Charge for everything" has only enraged the gamers. We are tired of it! All of us are nickle and dimed to death. Especially now that we live in a society of subscriptions for everything! Yes, you can make the argument of not living past your means, but it still doesn't change the fact. Almost everything is based off of subscriptions now.
Please EA, take your money and invest in the gamers. We will reward you for it. But, you have to win a lot of us back before we will completely believe you. Sorry if this seems a rant, or TLDR. Just hoping somewhere, someone in the upper parts will be willing to invest in us gamers, not the gamers investing in EA anymore. We are starving for how games used to be challenging, or at the very least, allow us pick if we want to play a hardcore, casual, or in-between. Gamers, I suggest posting in this if you agree and let's see if we can get EA to listen to us! Thanks for reading, if you read all of this. Just listen to us, EA, please.
Pissed Gamer,
Daalon
