Silence is annoying

Yep, I keep checking to see what new is coming...

yes me too. Can't wait till we get the "big news". Gosh I hope it's Seasons!!!! <3

I think they want to focus attention on Sims Mobile in this quarter.

I began playing Sims in 2005 with Sims2. I joined the forums, then, too. Moved onto Sims3, kept my username and now I'm playing Sims4. I have no clue as to why EA is being so cagey, secretive and all the other nonsense we, the consumers, have been put through. This is NOT good marketing. I am aware that teasing what's coming up with actual spark some players to play more, just to get their Sims 'ready' for what's coming.

The silence is deafening and it DOES give rise to all kinds of rumors, innuendos and outright misinformation. Please, EA, don't shut us out like this again. WE are your MARKET.

And for the record, I will NEVER play Sims mobile. Screen is too small, the cost of streaming too high and my guess is it's as limited, play-wise, as most facebook games, which I don't do, either.

I been playing Sims since Sims 1 kept my username for all Sims series - Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3, and now Sims 4. I play the three Sims Stories ones and My Sims too. I check everyday several times a day. We must all be patient even though it is hard. It take a lot of time to plan, develop, and code games and other software, I studied Computer Science in junior high, high school, and university so I know it takes a lot of time and effort. The programming involved in Sims games and other video games are far more complex than what I studied. I truly appreciate what the SimsGurus do. Sims games are worth waiting for. They cannot just pop out games fast. It takes a lot of time.

Happy Simming!

I'm thinking the "Big News" was planned to be revealed before SimGurus started getting laid off if you catch my drift. I don't think the "Big News" quite exists anymore, you follow me?

I think you're right. Not so much to try to convert die-hard PC players but just to place the focus on the mobile community for a while.

Nah not exactly bothered, though they could use more experiencing in the handling of information I think. This kind of stuff happens all the time in the game industry. Also @ the person who studied a lil game dev, I can certify the fact that it takes lots of time and effort and focus, because I'm in the game dev (indie) scene myself. :3

Is it me or is this silence bothering you too? With no quarter teaser, all the rumors flying around about the game ending and Simgurus getting laid off, I really want to know what is going on.

I feel like ever since Drake left we are back to no information again.

Couldn't agree more, wasn't her biggest fan and she could be taciturn with information herself, but you are right about this

I get inpatient too, but the Sims Community is spoiled when it comes to news. Some games out there don't get any news of any sorts for looooong periods of time *cough* Kingdom Hearts 3 *cough*.
