Maxis heard, but it didn't listen. Players complained about the problems with open world, not open world itself (ok, I'm sure a few did, but then some people prefer AM radio to FM or satellite). Same thing with CASt. Instead of doing what a normal company would do, like fixing the code, Maxis decided 'that's too hard'. Hey, I agree: Coding for CASt and Open World has to be a lot more challenging that animating a bear.
Seriously how they could solve all the problems in 1 year when they were not able to solve them in 5 years ?
I think you overestimate their skills. If Maxis had magical powers, I think we already know it, don't you think ?
Right now, removing CASt/Open World was the best thing to do in order to remove the problems.
You know something - that is like saying remove the steering wheel in cars and people will stop having accidents. That is not a solution. We never move forward when we allow ourselves and the companies that make things for us to stagnate. They had 6 years with Sims 3 to figure out how to make the advanced system work when they made the next series - they did not even try - obviously.
That is not how technology is best served, to avoid it - but to serve technology and advance is to find ways to make it better - not take away the steering wheel and move back 11 years.
