I agree 100% with what you said @JustinB113! Why tease that infants were coming "Early 2023" and then announce the actual release date at the end of the 1st month of the year (which is when simmers assumed they'd actually be releasing them) only to make the community have to wait ANOTHER 6 weeks!
Why couldn't they have just said releasing March 2023. Was it to keep the hype train up since they literally have had nothing substantial for new content? I don't consider fluff and stuff clutter and CAS items "new content". That does not make the game any better, that only adds new visuals that your sims don't even interact with nor react to so those offer very little to me personally.
They should know by now that whenever they say vague time-lines that simmers always jump to conclusions from their wording such as "in the coming weeks", people always assume that means in about 2-3 weeks, but in reality it's typically 3-4 months or sometimes longer.
To me personally when I read "Early 2023" I too assumed it would occur in the first few months of 2023, not 1/4 way through the new year.
While I'm not too upset at the release date information because I'm tied up with RL things and haven't been playing, I do feel extremely sad for the simmers who have been building up their hopes of them coming soon and holding back playing certain saves in anticipation of them releasing them much sooner. I think it was a little bit of a misleading statement on the marketing side of things.
So, now I'm assuming for Project Rene's "still years out" statement, we're actually talking maybe another 5 years before it's finally released. I might have lost total interest in The Sims by then if their recent lack of content continues in the same manner. CAS and BB kits don't entice or inspire me to play. I haven't updated nor even opened my game since well before the last kits released prior to the undie kit and horrid bathroom kit and I probably won't until the new EP is released.
