Stop blaming YouTube's for EA's greed, this isnt their fault. Most of the youtubers always speak up when they dislike something, especially deligracy. Almost all of them spoke up against the ball pit and helped us get it changes.

I'm tired of people blaming youtubers or accusing them of faking their opinions to get free stuff. I'm sure some of them do, but most of them do not. But since they arent LGR, their opinions are fake.

Deligracy always try to see the good and bad, and the bad she does see she always states constructively and offers ways to improve.

We are never going to get anywhere in the community if we point fingers at each other and blame each other while EA continues with this greed.

You do realize that these YouTubers overwhelmingly suppress their actual opinions right? How about you ask some of the former SimsCamp attendees what type of goodies they have gotten since they offered their honest feedback for where the game fell short?

EA isn’t in the business of giving people freebies if they aren’t going to give them something in return. Notice how even the most “critical” voices still don’t suggest you avoid purchasing the pack. Deligracy even said it would be a great pack for kids. They will promote anything regardless of how they feel about it because at the end of the day they aren’t paying for it and they’re making cash on it anyway.

To be fair, I don't remember Youtubers saying "you should buy it!" either. I think it's just not the point of reviews, really. Even LGR despite saying wheather something is worth its price or not, doesn't say not to buy certain stuff. On the contrary, I recall him pointing out on multiple occasions that it depends on what you like.

Yeah I kind of agree with this. In the end, they're just reviewing the content of the pack so you know what's in it and if you can see yourself playing with it. Personally, j think this pack deserves max a 2/10 on principle, but I don't think everyone has to share my principles either so yes... It's just so wrong this thing. I'm still a bit taken aback by it all.

Just stepping in to make a correction about this...

I've been paying attention to what some of the influencers have been saying and I can verify that Iron Seagull out of nowhere asked if anyone had seen the Black Panther movie yet, then proceeded to weave his opinion into saying, "Go see Black Panther instead. Even if you've already seen it. For ten dollars, go see it again." It was actually pretty funny.

I'm actually curious to see what they'll have to say about this pack next week. I kinda hope they'll remember that part of reviewing a pack is being able to answer the question "is it worth your money IF you like this theme?". And I don't think this pack should be worth anyone's money :D Again, not because the stuff in it isn't cute or fun or because I'm opposed to the idea of a dedicated small pets GP, but because this entire SP is such a ridiculous concept to begin with xD I understand people being excited about hamsters, as such, under different circumstances I would have been too. But under these? I can't. I don't even want to like anything that's in this pack, because my head is still spinning from the last 48 hours. I knew EA was greedy and that The Sims was owned by them, but to be this blatantly and in-your-face greedy is just a level of customer disrespect I didn't see coming at all. Not like this. And I hope for them that a lot of parents will answer their kids' and young teens' requests for this pack with a shrug and a "I bought you pets only a few months ago already, go play with those instead". I want the sales for this pack to be visibly horrible, because if they keep doing this, I'll have to start thinking twice about the EPs that go with these SPs.

Sorry btw if I'm repeating myself, but this is ... fascinatingly disturbing. :D :'(

In my honest opinion, I feel like the youtubers are trying to change the way they are perceived by a lot of players and that's why they made these videos. I'm not fully trusting their reason for making this, sorry.

I get it :) I personally feel like the few I do watch tend to be pretty honest about things they don't like. Then again, I get suuper excited as well about most TS4 content. Maybe that makes this all the more heartbreaking to me? Idk. I accept others may not like a lot of these youtubers very much, but there are some passionate players among them, and when something doesn't quite meet their expectations, they do tend to call it out. But then I guess that so far in TS4's run, no pack has failed most simmers' expectations quite as much as this one yet. It's just an all-round confusing thing, from announcement to release. And probably far beyond ...

I agree. By next week, it will be all about cuteness and how great the pack is and how wonderful EA is.

Agreed! I'm also very curious to see if the Influencers stick to their guns about this pack.

Personally, I would love to have the rodents, along with the death and disease, but not like this. I mean really, EA. If you're going to scam us, at least try to cover it up with subtlety, lol.

Yeah I feel exactly the same as you. And you know what else? I hate that they're ruining our JA fun this way. Cause it's ruining it. I can't hate them for this SP AND be excited about JA at the same time. It's confusing :disappointed:
