I think the thing that made this sneak patch of the Beacon of Greed such a grand dumpster fire insult to players is the spin they tried to put on it in the patch notes - like they were doing us a favor alerting us to packs we haven't bought yet "from the comfort of our Sim's home." It just came off as extremely patronizing and manipulative and as soon as I read it it was like the joy was sucked out of a week that should have been full of celebration with long-awaited bug fixes and a new pack that a lot of people were looking forward to. What a buzzkill.
