@Writin_Reg Maybe I'm confused (being not familiar with those surveys): are they meant to attract new players or are they meant to get feedback (genuinely not sure)? I was 44 by the way when I first was drawn into this franchise ;) We're old, not dead or completely blunted. And *cough* we often have money to spend :p
It's called marketing - and most of those surveys were sent out by EA marketing - some even offering ideas in former sims games that are not even really possible in Sims 4. Had Maxis put them out - number one my emails would not have come from EA Marketing dept - but would have been from The Sims Marketing. In fact when some of us mentioned different surveys we have even been asked by some Guru to see a copy as they had not even known of these survey. Some were even made before we got the Sims 4 while the game was still being worked on. So EA is the one marketing the under 20 gamers. Oh and even more telling was they went out to some gamers EA has that are not even Simmers. I know 2 gamers who have never played the Sims that are both under 21 - but they do play several of EA's games. So it is just marketing.
Every single one that EA marketing sent to my email - when I had to give me birthdate - thanked me, but said they had already filled their quota in my age catagory. Co incidently everyone I talked to here over 30 also got rejected, but a few under 24 got to fill out the surveys.
I know the majority of EA's players are 25 - 35 so I assume they were promoting to gamers under 24 including non-simmers - which is what marketing does.
Actually I have not seen any Sims surveys in my email since the middle of 2015.
