I think a lot of the (justified) fan outrage isn't necessarily with Journey to Batuu, but EA/Maxis' priorities of late, which of course like all major AAA companies is to make money. However the outrage I believe really stems from little to no transparency on the end of Maxis, little or no community interaction, six years on with missing standard Sims features (real babies, cops, robbers, etc), skin tones and bugfixes that have either not been addressed or are continually broken with each update. Then you announce this Star Wars gamepack and the already boiling pot just spills over. I think plenty of people would like the new pack, however I think the timing was just bad...more people wanted the promised fixes and additions to the game before a pack that a lot see as a cash grab.
