I’m trying to figure out what this means:

So if the devs just keep fooling people into thinking that TS4 still has so many years, people will keep buying it.
An article in Variety, dated
June 18, 2018.Interview with Grant Rodiek after the release of Seasons.
https://variety.com/2018/gaming/features/the-sims-4-seasons-interview-1202840327/
A line lifted from the article:
“
Though he wouldn’t go into specifics, Rodiek said he was already in meetings discussing the next three years of content for the current title.“
Let’s count 3 years from when the article was published:
- June ‘18-June ‘19 (1 year)
- June ‘19-June ‘20 (2 years)
- June ‘20-June ‘21 (3 years) wait, unless we have a DeLorean time machine parked in our driveway, we haven’t covered that full period just yet.
Since we’re 2 years further (So at least THAT has been covered) and with (at least!) 1 more year to go, content will keep coming until whatever announcement for a new title we will get.
How is that
“fooling” us when the packs are right there available through our origin client with new content being added for at least the next year, and-going by some tweets- beyond.
Unless a giant spaceship enters San Francisco airspace and abducts the whole production crew at Redwood Shores for whatever reason we won’t discuss here, I can actually imagine new content being added in the next year, or two, until a new title is being announced. The timing of that announcement is irrelevant.
Or do you mean that the devs are
fooling us into buying stuff...so the studio can make profit? Well they shouldn’t make profit. They should give us everything for free. That’s how businesses work.
Or do you think TS5 is finished by now and the devs are holding it back from us for a good while so they can make more money from TS4 releases instead, because we are fools?
Now, if the devs fooled
me into thinking there have been new packs available since the date of that Variety article, that there was new content that I could buy (and I did)- however, in reality there was
nothing there.... I
imagined it all....well...then...
I guess I will have to go and get help.
Or do you mean those who buy TS4 packs are fools?
