I think the upshot of all this will be the end of the SimGuru program. I have my doubts that they will be back ever. It was a voluntary ambassador program that some of the devs undertook out of their love for the game, and their goodwill has been exploited time and time again and this latest incident has a whiff of the last straw to me. It’s unfortunate and I hope I am wrong but you can only push people so far.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I too wouldn't be surprised if the gurus throw in the towel at this point either. It's not in their job description to have to put up with abuse from the community, nor should they have to. They're not obligated to grovel and answer to the screamers on social media, including this forum and this very thread.

I can see that your angry and upset about this and I'm truly sorry about that, but I don't think its fair to say anyone on this thread has been abusive toward anyone on the team. Constructive criticism isn't abuse. If it were then, posts would have been removed and individuals banned that's not happened as far as I am aware.

Most of the abuse happened on Twitter this time, but I have seen the Gurus abused on this platform too in the past, particularly after Cats and Dogs was relased, vile name calling and threats and the posts were removed yes, but once someone has read them and feelings are hurt, the removal doesn't accomplish much. It was shortly after that the Gurus withdrew from this platform and became more active on Twitter, and now well history as repeated itself, a small bunch of people who seem to feel they're entitled to abuse people to get their way. who think that's how you affect change and "get your voice heard" have likely brought about the end of the SimGuru program for good. As I said I hope I'm wrong...but I don't see any incentive for them to continue with it any longer.

I understand and accept what you say. I don't interact on twitter myself, so I only know what I hear here on the forum, but it does sound as if they had it rough. I truly value the contributions the Gurus make and wish them only the best, but my comments were exclusively about this thread.
