I bet these updates are not cars, not updated babies. It's probably something superficial again. Another layer of paint over a broken foundation.
These kits are just super profitable for them. They can sell them like hot cakes, throw them out like crazy and get more $$$ with less effort.
And @SimGuruFrost saying that Kits do not have any impact on other pack releases seems to be simply not the truth.
Since they started with the kits, normal SP's stopped, and now we aren't even getting a EP in November/December.
It's obvious enough.
And refreshes are nice and all, but there is still a void when it comes to decent family gameplay (Generations) in the game.
Refreshes can wait until they finish up the essentials imo.
