SimGuru Silence on Twitter: When Will They Respond?

Maybe out of respect, they're are holding off on things waiting to see how the situation in the Ukraine develops? Are there any simgurus living in the Ukraine, or any that have friends or family members currently living there? I don't know the answer to that question, do any of you?

There's a war going on and our fellow simmers in the Ukraine are literally fighting for their lives right now. For all we know, our own allied military forces may end up having to ship out to help these people survive another day. Things are up in the air right now and none of us know what tomorrow may bring.

So perhaps the gaming community could hold off on their EA/Maxis pitchfork tribunals right now until a time when it might be a little more appropriate?

I would think the chances of that are unlikely. My Husband is working and we are in the U.K. Businesses unless they are directly in the cross fire can’t just close down. They can support indirectly as many devs have by donating their proceeds to those impacted. EA do have offices in Europe but not in Ukraine and I’m not sure if any work on the sims. My understanding is they are based in the USA.

It was only a few weeks ago EA were punishing Russia of their own choosing.

Also they are promoting this pack even though they know it’s broken! So I don’t think it’s anything to do with world events, it’s a case of they can put their hands over their ears and go La La La I can’t hear you safe in the knowledge that simmers are buying it anyway.
