Can we talk about the sims 4 rebrand vidio ?
Besides being cringey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKVaEM0VfXU I feel like this video is manipulating.It feels like they took a bunch of people with self-esteem issues than put them on the cent...

"The way it influences people's lives" ... Gross... Propaganda?
A video game shouldn't be influencing anything! So should GTA influence people to go steal cars? Of course not! Everyone uses games as a means of escape or entertainment. That much is a given. It shouldn't have to say that. It shouldn't be promoted as a way to help heal yourself either, running away from your problems and escaping into a video game is fine for a small diversion but as a way to actually deal with your life? It's extremely unhealthy, a crutch and could possibly stop someone from learning a HEALTHY way to cope with life. Then after TS4 stops, and it will eventually, they all do... then how does said person get their "therapy"? Their attitude is disgusting. Are they going to take responsibility for all of these player's mental health now and provide support after the game ends? Of course not, it's not their job but they really shouldn't be using it as a marketing tactic as if it is... This is actually making me think I should stop supporting them as a whole and stop purchasing packs! (As if they weren't already giving me enough reasons...)
It's actually an eye opener for me how in the second video on page 1 here, a religious girl explains how playing a deviant and mean God makes her more aware of the positive values of her religion.
I missed that... but that is also disturbing. I'll have to give that one a re-watch too.
Oh! But aren't those videos done by MTV? I think that might be a bit of a difference, unless of course Maxis/EA paid them to make them. It's not right necessarily, but it's a bit different coming from a third party (if they're not controlling it) vs paid employees/spokesperson or ads produced and put out by them on their official youtube channels and such.
