Re: [LAUNDRY LIST] Unfortunate implications of Hates Children + Dazed

Remember when games were fun and didn't feel the need to include uncomfortable subjects like non-consensual intercourse? Yes, this is realistic, but this is also one of those parts of reality that a reasonable game developer/publisher would omit in the name of player comfort and enjoyment.

If that wasn't enough reason already, consider that the vast majority of Sims players are women. We deal with this in our everyday life, and it sucks when you try to play a game to escape the ugliness that real life often is only to have it shoved back in your consciousness again. Maybe you don't care about that, but you'll start to care when people boycott the game over your lack of sense. Way to alienate your playerbase.

Of all the things you could have included in an update that would have improved gameplay as a whole (many of which players have been begging for years to no avail), -this- was what you thought was worth devoting time and development money to? If this is a taste of what Sims 5 is going to be like, count me out.
