Yeah I think what bothers me most is how much bullying is promoted especially for fans. Like unless you are positive 100% of the time you are pretty much told to shut up and go away. So why there is so much irony with the video. Especially with the deep dive live stream with chat I really saw how toxic the fan base is for the Sims 4 watching fans attack other fans, Game Changers, and Sim Gurus. The whole moderation of the Sims community seems to be lacking during the Sims 4 with how long it takes for illegal actions to be addressed if addressed and met with consequences at all. It is because of that lack of moderation why the Sims community remains as toxic as it is and honestly thing it is something that all EA games suffer including EA Sports.
I don't think this is a limited to EA problem or that it's just the simming community. I don't believe a lack of moderation has caused it and it remains toxic just because people can and there a lot more people online these days. For every one you remove it's likely 2-3 more pop up. All game companies have this problem with their "fans". You can hide behind the internet so easily, people aren't afraid to be toxic because there will be no consequences. (A ban is no big deal). I've seen it just as bad over on Blizzard's sites. Just last year (I think, it may have been longer or even shorter) COD producers had to put out a request to "remind" "fans" that devs are people too, because their community was being so toxic. It's everywhere unfortunately.
As far as legal actions taking a long time, could be just as much a fault of the law system and not enough resources there to clear the back log.
