Why should 'some people' not have bought TS4? Maxis was very good at convincing them (as I've already said) they were going to build the game of their dreams. It was like a deal. If you buy the base game, we will add ghosts, pools and other stuff you are upset about that is missing in a $80 base. For most it costs $60 if they didn't buy the deluxe or whatever. Nothing they added in those early patches could make up for the price jack of $60 for such a small game. Couldn't even figure out who was a teen or who wasn't until some of us begged for a tag to put on teens so we could see the difference from a YA or Adult. Talk about shallow teens. Cringe worthy.
When some of us ranted about other things we were told how much 'potential' TS4 had just to skip the things we didn't like and wait on the things we did like. While ten dozen more Sims behaved the same way each and every time.
Granted a few packs they focused on were good packs until they no longer cared about those anymore and let them remain broken. Would anyone say that is a waste of money once you buy a pack you did like but later it gets broken and no one fixes it for you? Why do any of us put up with that from software developers? Would we let it go and just keep using a broken product and not ask the company to fix our gadget or whatever, and just keep buying more of them? Why is it ok for software developers to get by with shady customer support? Just why. No one has to answer that , but for me, the day I allow game developers and companies to keep hood winking me into buying and then break their own product and don't get on it like hot cakes, is over.
They may very well destroy the genre of The Sims, but in my eyes EA's infamous reputation of releasing and selling broken games is alive and well in Maxis. A different 'genre' of a pack is not going to convince me it will be any better. It's not EA who is releasing a new pack No doubt full of flaws and bugs. Only to break the ones you already have installed. Money down the drain, oh, please EAxis, let me buy another pack so I can break the last one and continue to spout how much 'potential' TS4 has.
You told me it was a life simulator and just wait and see, it would be all I dreamed about, but then told me no, it's a soap opera, then told me no it's a safespace, but then told me no it's trend simulator, so I would go out and buy some ugly clothes from some designer I would never buy from, because of ugly clothes, but then told me, no it's an adventure simulator.....I'm still waiting to see a life simulator and TS4 ain't it.
You said you heard me when we complained about the 'Sim' and swore you had returned to your roots to build TS4....where is that game?
