Do you prefer longer or shorter announce-to-release cycles?

I honestly had no opinion, until this GP announcement had the whole community on their toes! It was so much fun speculating what was going to be announced and even once it happened, the buzz only died down a notch or so. Now we are all (well maybe not everyone lol) excited and ready to play! And we don't have to wait long to be able to do so.

Even if I like the idea for the pack, I'd like to have as much info about it as possible before release.

It genuinely makes no difference to me. You're either waiting for release or waiting for an announcement. In one scenario you know what's coming and in the other you don't. Regardless of which they do, people get antsy. I'm indifferent to either method since I'm generally a patient person and I don't really need to be constantly reminded that content is in development.

Shorter, I hate waiting.

I prefer longer, gave time to look forward to. I can also understand those that choice shorter, as i no longer pre purchase till last min, due to failer to deliver content expected.

Shorter. If it's too long I'll lose excitement for it and then not buy it on release

Not so long it feels like forever, but long enough so as to allow those on a limited budget to plan for the expense, and also to see blogs, livestreams etc.

I' don't care.

I don't want a really long cycle or anything. I just hate going so long without hearing anything. But I would really like it if a pack were announced a couple months ahead of time, so we could all talk about it and pump each other up for it. Plus getting more and more details over a couple months' time is super exciting too! Completely radio silence on the other hand? That's just disheartening.

Longer, but not like 2-3 months we'd get in Sims 3. But I'd like to know more than the week before. Builders might start builds and players might start games that the new stuff would fit right in for. I know they could edit stuff in, but still...it'd be like..."if only I had waited a few more days!"
