LoL bUdDy kNoX iS a ReAl aDvOcaTe fOr tHe ecu-liefstail. wEiRd FlEx LmAo wUt A sImP/CrInGe. *Wink wink* the planet is a mess *wink wink cough couhg wink* if only *cough* someone *wink* helped save the planet. Am I not being clear, the viewer?!!??? Now that you watch this advertisement, we would like you *waves the cash bill to their face as a handheld fan* to lift your lazy buttocks of the chair and start saving the planet as you learn the reality presented in this video game. Otherwise, the people around you will start liking trash and start dumster diving-woohing in if you don't do something about this.
This is literally what comes across of this trailer. Who the baloney think that it's a weird flex to be an enviromentalist?? Is this what EA thinks of millienials? The way of trying to cross the message to millienals and gen z comes across pathetically embarrasing attempt. I really wanna see everyone in the studio and anyone at EA, who was involve in this PSA, to just go outside and start cleaning the streets and yards that is outside of their windows. And why do Sims even enjoy "living like that" when they don't clean up the messes? Shouldn't it be the other way around? As a player, am I suppose to be annoyed that Sims enjoy living in whole trash can town over a realistic portrayal where it should affect Sims help and get them to complain over the mess they made over their selves. Into the Future had a more preferable approach to corrupted nature in dystopian future, with the exception of meteors hurling out of nowhere.
Way of how the trailer/game (I think) could have been done better:
- Should have made Sims react negatively to the contamination instead of making cheesy, looney, whimsical reaction from Sims over the contamination. Sims walking with their heads down in sorrow is the closest and best representation of what these global issue can cause onto people.
- Had they not used "weird flex" out of the context (which is in itself is reaching with political categaring; implies ALL millienials have zero interest over enviromentalism. Weird flex is someone literally jumping and woohooing in a literal dumster, or showing affection to flies).
- Removing the scene&feature where the Sim seducing flies (again, if you gonna enforce the fact contanimation is big deal and ppl in RL should learn something about this, at least make a realistic depiction on emotional reaction over this global issue)
- Having all Sims watching TV on the couch be with a negative emotion state, oppose to giving empression they 'enjoy' it (in what reality people enjoy living in this kind of smoggy town filled with litter???)
