https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YgKUZnUyakMaybe the Sims Team at Maxis can learn some tips from Mojang on how to engage with and respond to the community. Agnes was almost in tears telling us how they've had to split the update and delay part of it. The Sims team would never. And that is a massive part of the problem with Sims 4. Laundry Lists are not communication, they are a joke.The last time you tried to engage with the community you threw SimGuruDrake under the bus and took no responsibility or accountability while expecting her to defend you and make excuses for you till she was almost mentally destroyed. But hey that's the EA way right? Use people till they can't work no more. Sorry I mean, that's the Maxis way now too.

so you want people from the sims team to make a video about game updates and almost cry in a video? SImGuruDrake wasn't thrown under the bus. she was bashed a lot by people in the fanbase because they wanted to blame her for what they disliked in the game. I remember when she left and lots of people were happy and said good riddance. now all of a sudden we're pretending that EA threw her under the bus and mentally destroyed her? what? lol. she just quit her job and moved on.

I'd rather they respond the way Hello Games did toward the community backlash of No Man's Sky. They didn't say anything and fixed the game. Not only that they've added continuous free updates for the past 5 years and now the game is just amazing.

Nah, that's just the way Agnes talks. She did the same thing announcing the update. The Sims team did something like that with the skintones update tho.I agree, Laundry Lists are not good right now. Those are definitely not the top community concerns.

Maxis is one of the best companies ever and listens to what the community wants. o:)

And it's not just No Man's Sky. Square Enix remade their entire game because it was negatively recieved and it has now become one of the most popular MMOs ever.
A lot of companies are way more sincere, customer-friendly and understanding than EA. EA has been caught in the act of "cash-grabbing" many times and they never admit they did anything wrong. They just find an excuse to cover things up. Or will say "I guess we are innovating too much" after being called out for adding microtransactions and loot boxes.

Really don't bother with EA, they don't speak "customer language", they will never admit of doing anything wrong.

Btw, please use the Feedback section for this.

Who is crying in that video? That's just how that individual talks. Pretty rude to say something like that, IMO.

My apologies.So let me rephrase the question in a more polite manner ? you want the sims team to make a video full of emotion that makes it seem like they are about to cry?

I think the keywords here would be sincerity, humility and accountability
