In fairness, the video is unlisted now. But that doesn't stop people with the link from viewing it (aka the people on this thread).

Good to know that they took it down now. Thanks for the update!

They sort of took it down :D

I have never seen something as messy as this. Why is no one clearing things up now? The Sims Twitter account has been active a few hours ago again, but of course that was about those Teen Kids Choice Awards (or whatever) and still no one adressed these issues...

Whether they didn't mean to post it or there is an error with the sale itself. They advertised it regardless, and didn't deliver. I hope we get the sale, otherwise false advertising under any circumstance plum.

they confirmed on twitter there is NO sale, someone posted.

That video is not even posted on The Sims youtube, it's most likely fake.

the video was post on the official sims 4 youtube channel. in fact there were /two/, one seven second and one fifteen seconds. here's the one that was fifteen seconds on their page from aug 10th:

and here's the seven second one from the same day:

they were not fake. ea never explained beyond an eahelp tweet saying they weren't having a sale.

They were posted on The Sims YouTube but I think they put them on private with no explanation - they can be seen through links

And the plot thickens..dun dun dun :# :#

That sale and ad was for the Teen CHoice Awards - which EA was one of the Sponsors for Sunday. That is why the code was Choice and it was just for the base game from what I saw. I watched the show with a young family member, and followed it on Twitter as well. During the show on tv they did not mention it other than listed Electronic Arts as one of the Sponsors of the event and The Sims part of the teens Green Room - but on the Twitter - Teens Choice Awards they showed that ad and the code to use to get the base game half price.

I actually thought to myself that was no deal seeing Origin frequently has the base game on sale and much less than half price. LOL.

I believe the only SimGuru who would be aware of this would most likely be Sim Guru Kate. The devs do not generally pay attention to what's on sale unless we bring it up. We seem to see sales before they do. Also there are no Sims devs at the studio on Saturdays and Sundays.

incorrect. as has been mentioned and shown before, the promo code and the sale advertised on the official sims 4 youtube channel were two very different things with very different videos assigned to them.
