Key word from the title is SOME.

Some fans, and who and what determines how big a fan is? I've been here since the beginning of the game. Am I not "one of the biggest fans" just because I don't have a massive following on the internet? A lot of assumptions being made here, just in the title and that's disappointing from someone who is usually as diplomatic and fair as Carl. Good for him, getting those views, but honestly? If you people really feel so strongly about "saving" this game, then you need to sacrifice the dollars in your pocket. Otherwise, you're just preaching to your choirs for Likes, upvotes and other ways to capitalize on the internet's very easy rage - which is probably what most people are really concerned with, given the state of the internet today.

Wdym in the title? Do you meant say 'not likely to get better for some'? (?)

I also dont understand the argument people are 'hating on TS4 for likes' when i believe its more popular to think highly of TS4 on this site lol. Also its kind of dismissing people's points when they are making constructive critcism, and leads to toxic/petty back and forths about which group is more oppressed. It solves nothing, builds up nothing. Besides, any influencers, whether they think positively of TS4 or not are *all* being paid. Like yeah, its their job lol. I think its perfectly fine to buy every pack if your plan is to review it and show others (especially if its your choice of employment or side hustle!) Its another if you're a normal simmer buying every single expansion,pack, stuff pack, kit then complaining. I personally dont fiscally support TS4 anymore because it's not designed for me.

And the only reason they "listened" to black players was because everyone collectively decided to throw black people a few scraps after the George Floyd protests in lieu of, you know, actually trying to address the deeper issues of systemic racism by trying to introduce real systemic changes. Much easier to add new skin tones and remove Aunt Jemima. EA wasn't exempt from that BS move. That's it.

This is true. EA doesnt care if youre black, white or purple. As long as your money is green. The pandering is disingenuous and I wish theyd focus on the game instead of branding and marketing. The actual update is a nice addition, but the virtue signaling can come to a full stop lol
