I mean...if they did not realize it would lead to speculation, what did they think would happen?

That people would just have fun with it? I want to point to this very morning when SimGuruNinja posted a very cool picture of the moon which he then deleted because people instantly assumed it was a hint to Werewolves. Or a few months ago when everyone was convinced we were getting a chopped pack because the Gurus were sharing food pics.

The community takes their posts and runs with them no matter how generic or innocent they are. I think George's baby and Ninja's puppies are the only things I've seen tweeted about that weren't spun into wild speculation by some portion of the fanbase.

And if the same fanbase didn't then decide that it was somehow the Guru's fault that the fanbase misinterpreted their tweets, I'd have fun with the speculation too. But apparently, they should only tweet when it's actually a hint, or in regards to sims news, and should stay silent otherwise and not be humans.

The gurus need to realize that they are speaking to a community with millions of followers and customers, and realize that their tweets can interpreted in any number of ways. Maybe they need to hire a social media manager to screen their tweets. Because they don't seem to realize that they are the face of a very public company, and what they post matters.
You can't blame the customers for interpreting the tweets a certain way, when the gurus are the face of The Sims.
