Not only do I think they likely won’t address it, I think the era of high direct community engagement is over. @Babykittyjade has made some great points. They tried to engage, and they tried to deliver on this community’s ever changing and never ending wishlist only to be used a human punching bags. I think they will rarely now return to Twitter if they return at all, and honestly I don’t blame them. This community asked for more engagement and transparency and the gurus obliged and for their troubles they were verbally abused, harassed, and insulted. No explanation they gave would suffice, no improvement they made was adequate. They were summarily stripped of their humanity and their dignity and for what? A game, an idle distraction, a past time pursuit. It’s been disgusting and disheartening to watch. The good side of this community is very good, the dark side however is horrifying and heartbreaking.

Yeah I'm sad that simguruninja seemed to not be active anymore and I don't blame him since I think he was getting death threats. But he was the most active and helpful guru, even more active than the community manager. But it could be because a previous cm was stalked and threatened.

Honestly it's sad ? he removed his photo and went dark. He was always so sweet and kind to everyone. He's the most fun when new packs come out he always has something in his house related to the pack ?. I know some time ago he used to be even more active then he was, retweeting a lot of simmer content and engaging but he got bullied into staying quiet and started only being active around the time of new content. I feel like this was the last straw and I feel really sad for them. Many of them have kids, imagine their kids when they are old enough to get online, some probably already are,and see all of these death threats and negativity surrounding their parents for a job they do. Then that effects the children and they could get hurt by it.
And to make it worse I've seen several simmers say "bullying works let's keep pushing them." And a bunch of people supporting this ideology.
I cannot condone bullying in any shape or form and as much as people try to make EA out to be some evil overlord corporation the gurus have become victims.
I just want the gurus to do whatever is mentally best for them even if that means we won't get to interact with them. Self care comes first ❤
And the last thing I would want them to sacrifice for is a video game. I can't enjoy something off of someone else's suffering. A lot of the joy I get from sims is the joy a lot them put into making it, and the excitement they feel finally revealing something fun they have been working hard on for a long time.
To share in that excitement and happiness together is what makes "the sims community."
And I understand that not everything is going to be happy happy joy joy ALL the time. But I feel like this is just getting ridiculous and beyond sad.
