How about, how some members in the community treat them?, personally attacking someone because of a game, yes the developers messed up with the sims 4 but they are fixing it, humans are allowed to make mistakes ( we're good at it), I would say maxis are getting better at talking to the community despite getting abuse by some, it's doesn't cost anything to be a decent human being, at the end of the day its only a game and if its not someones cuppa tea, people don't have to buy and support it, yes I understand some people frustration about the game but I'd say maxis is treating us better than how some treat them, my post isn't intended to be rude, unfortunately you can't get my tone of voice on text of how I'm saying this :-), it's how I personally feel about the topic
@Nikkih It depends on how you define "attack". Constructive criticism isn't attacking, especially for products people have paid for.
Also "one mistake"? The didn't just make one mistake, they have made dozens over the last 6 years with the game and also with how they react to constructive criticism.
And imo they are not trying hard enough to fix it at all. Look at games like Final Fantasy XIV, Cyberpunk 7077, No Man's Sky. These games made huge compromises and improvements in order to respond to criticism. EA didn't do 1% of that and kept making more and more mistakes for years after the release of the Sims 4.
When you make a mistake but still charge 60$ for that mistake, you should be ready to actually do a lot more to fix it and also know how to respond to the community in a better way without lying constantly and not being transparent.
Humans make more than one mistake and Humans are also impatient , yes constructive criticism is good, great even but that isn't what I'm talking about, for example I remember a while ago when 2 developers done a livestream someone made fun of a developer, they are game developers not professional YouTubers, the woman probably was nervous, the game is still in development and even if they added everything, they would always be someone not happy let's be honest there , you cant please everyone that's impossible @SimmerGeorge
@Nikkih Yeah but that's just bullying. There are always gonna be people who take it too far. You can be constructive and criticize something but there is no reason to get personal and attack or bully people. I agree that's not a good thing.
There's a fine line between constructive criticism and just being horrible, there's no excuse for that rudeness, I get that people are passionate about this franchise, I am too however I wouldn't let anything turn me into a nasty human being certainly not a game @SimmerGeorge
Yeah I heard people attacking SimGuruPopcorn over wearing glasses. It isn't right. I find a lot of people treat the female Gurus very badly while they flirt with the male Gurus. Why I shake my head when people say that the Sims games should be made for women only when it is actually the most toxic games on the market towards women and the women that make the game. I am actually finding LOL community a lot friendlier than Sims has been which is sad considering what LOL is famous for. I do get attacked a lot for not being the stereotypical woman too because I do like things like sports and math and traveling. Why I hope that the Sims games start attracting a more modern audience of all backgrounds because the current audience isn't going to keep this franchise going. I notice a lot of the male Simmers get attacked too for playing the Sims which is sad. Why I like sticking up for them. Sims needs to have a more balanced audience again like during the Sims 3 had.
