They work to make the product. Why is it scummy for them the ask to be paid for their efforts? I assume you have a job? Do you go to work for the fun of it? Or do you expect to be paid? Are you scummy for wanting a paycheck? Please explain how it is different?

Meh keeping the personal stuff out, not really your business and it strays off topic. Pretty much entertainment and gaming industries are bound to get both positive and negative reviews. It isn't anything new. You should really check out the feedback on the other EA games because there are similar concerns and feedback about those games too. It isn't just Sims 4 exclusive. Honestly EA couldn't care less knowing my feedback or what I spend or any of the personal information you are asking for. All they care about is the bottom line. I'm just a tiny number in their financial statements of no important value to them.

What gets me is that people say they want the Gurus to get paid, yet do everything possible in their power to make sure that doesn't happen by telling others not to play the Sims 4, not to buy games for it, or even enter giveaways. It is like they don't even want others to enjoy the game or have the game sell, but rather to only have people with their "opinions" play it or buy it. That won't sell games or help Gurus out at all. You really shouldn't concern yourself what others do. It will more than likely make Simmers feel intimidated to not buy at all if they feel attacked and harassed all the time. The Sims 4 doesn't have the most welcoming community when it comes to encouraging others to play the game or post in forums. I heard Simmers were much more united during the Sims 2 and 3 eras. With the Sims 4, it divided and alienated Simmers. Not a good start so far. It means half the potential profit. So if you are really that concerned about the Guru's jobs, start by helping them out uniting the community again. It is split and could use all the help to mend it again. Rosemow sets the prime example of how to welcome others in the community.
