do the gurus actually look at this forum?

Anyone ever wonder if we should do something like discord? Have a live chat discussion every once in a while. I mean maxis monthly is one thing on twitch, but what about a live chat about certain things we have issues with or questions we have? Like let's say they do a live chat and the discussion will be alot of the common topics we all post here in feedback or the speculation part of the Forum. Maxis monthly is mainly things they want to share that are upcoming withing the sims 4 as a whole (mobile, console and PC), but we need a place where there can have a live open discussion with simmers that could also do once a month just so we all know we're being heard.

I've heard of Discord, but I've never used it. So, I'm not sure how that would work.

However, have you ever seen the chat section of a Live stream? It's like the Wild West. People shooting for the hip nearly as fast as the eye can see. :D

How the Gurus manage to discern anything in that kind of environment is a miracle to me. Imagine so many people speaking (?) at once and demanding to be heard? ::smh::

There are two other Gurus in the back following the post threads during twitch - that pick from some of the questions asked. Also the Gurus at the desk sometimes catch some of them as well.

Yes, I understand how the live stream works. Still, even with persons dedicated to watching the chat, it would be impossible to catch it all. A lot of pertinent questions are missed due to how fast the chat is scrolling. Some questions, I suspect, are purposely ignored. It's not a good forum for equitable communication.

Imagine the chaos in an medium like Discord where, I believe, everyone has a microphone (?) and is vying to be heard. Phew!

Sometimes I’ve had replies for pc, sometimes I haven’t. Gurus can not communicate to everyone on twitter and it’s very easy for them to miss things .

Exactly this.^^^

Relatively speaking, Twitter is an easier medium to read and tweets are preserved so that the Gurus can go back and pick up things that they've missed, at their own leisure. Even so, good questions are often overlooked.

Imagine how many insightful questions are missed during the free-for-all of the live streams.
