A stable game with packs that offer enough content for the price tag, that's what convinces players to spend money. If I ignore the sales option in the EA app and the home screen to enter my game, I am interested in playing not purchasing.

This is the point. There are many simmers actively waiting to buy For Rent until the issues are fixed and if EA never fixes the issues (like Dine out for example, which is unplayable without carl's functionality mod) then they're never going to buy it?
@EA_Cade , I hate to say it, but they've developed a bit of a reputation. Simmers know that packs will be released buggy or broken. The PC crowd will wait for a modder to fix it - which is as I said on page 2, unfair to EA's 'free' patching team of modders - but the console crowd doesn't have that option? They either buy it and accept a half finished product, or not buy it at all.
What does EA think they'll do? Throw money at a half finished product? They did that already with the other packs that still aren't fixed to this day. Now, they're deciding to conserve their money.
Which brings us back to this icon and its existence. This is why it is so offensive to so many. I get it, profits pay for dev wages. However EA could sell OLDER packs they've already released if they just take the time to fix them so the console crowd (or unmodded PC crowd) will WANT to buy them.
Ruining our in game experience with sensory abomination icons is not the way to improve sales. We know HOW to buy packs. EA needs to make us WANT to buy them now.
