How do you feel about The Sims coming to Alexa? Was this an exciting announcement for you?

Disappointed because for one, not every Sims 4 player has said device and for two, it has nothing to do with the actual game. It just should have been announced elsewhere.

It's a good thing it's not just aimed at Sims 4 players then. Nor is it for only people that have an Alexa.

I totally get people being disappointed because it's not something that they'll use and of course, it's always nice to get NEW features for the game, but I'm kind of baffled as to the responses - here and elsewhere - around this project that a dev was really interested in making.

There was never meant to be a patch in January, it's not like we've been starved for things in The Sims 4 in the last few months - Get Famous, Holiday update, Patch. If you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't. I'm not sure why there are so many that are up in arms over this to the point where there's speculation as to what the devs could have or should have been working on instead of this.

I think the devs are damned if they do, damned if they don't with Maxis Monthlies. Unfortunately, I don't think people actually want communication with the Gurus, they simply want to know what what's coming next regarding paid or free content and patches in The Sims 4.

Perhaps we should go back to the days where we never heard from the Gurus and the next expansions were announced in the back of the current expansion.

Again, totally understand someone not liking something, but seriously this isn't that deep and some people are acting like this is the end of the world. Just my two p.
