EA/Maxis knew this was going to happen being there was an Seasons pack in each version and they are going to be compared. Now if this was the only pack, some would understand it. It is just like the features that was in the previous versions that were not related to Seasons they were cut and then EA/Maxis attempted to close Pandora box on that and some were cool with it and some are not. The thing is once an feature is introduced it is believed that it must be in each version and also be much better than the last version and you can't make it like it did not exist. Sure you have customers that accept Seasons for what it worth and you have some that can't accept it because to them it is less of an feature and I feel the same. However I cars about I like and want and at the price EA/Maxis wants me to pay I will not pay and I will play the waiting game and get it much cheaper in time, so much controversy and concessions with this game.
