Cozy Celebrations Rewards Event Coming Tuesday, December 3.
Forum Discussion
I couldn't believe this when I first saw it. Seriously? The last one hasn't even ended yet!!! I don't want to be pushed into gameplay and the UI is annoying me to bits. I hate that it cuts into the screen, opens up when I don't ask it to and blinks. Can't it just be in scenarios where you opt in? Or at least give us an option to opt out.
EA, listen carefully, forced gameplay is NOT fun. Let me choose!
For those who are excited and think this is fun, I'm happy for you, I don't begrudge you your fun, just let me opt out.
The last Event ended on November 19th, a week before this post was even made.
There is no forced gameplay, you don't have to do anything you don't want. If you dislike the Event, you don't have play it at all. You can opt out.
My sentiments exactly, there are way too many negative players, I for one am grateful for any extra gameplay that is made available to me, and the freebies of course.
Not entirely. EA is using FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which is an actual tactic to pressure people to be motivated. No one is being held hostage and forced to do these events. But you miss out on stuff if you don't do them, and you're actively being pressured to do them within a certain time frame or you'll lose out. And that's assuming you can actually make the time to play, because every time we see these events, we also see people who will have to miss out because of one real-life responsibility or another.
The best thing they could do is remove the limited time aspect. That way, people can do them whenever they want, without any pressure and without having to change their schedule. And this would add a form of permanent, repeatable content.
