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?

Doubtful. I don't see how ignoring customers for days and not making any comments about the Ukraine situation shows respect or concern towards Ukraine's plight.

Things are definitely hard right now, and I'm sure many Gurus have friends or family who are now involved in a dangerous situation. I don't mind if any individual Gurus feel the need to stay quiet and handle things privately. But that doesn't mean the whole company has to go dark, the world can still be aware of serious issues and be concerned, and still do their jobs.

To be clear, I don't blame the devs for any of this. But the situation has been poorly handled by the company.
