I think it's important to read that whole interview, not just the thread. Doesn't it have some lies??? (And other annoying things.)
Example: "Typically, on Sims 3 we used to do one expansion per year and then did a couple of stuff packs."
Isn't that an easily disproved lie???
Plus there's a lot of PRey fibbing or "truth" twisting.
Example: "There are little things they wanted. They wanted pools, we introduced pools two months in. We didn't have toddlers; they took a little bit longer..."
"Little" - I don't think it means what Grant thinks it means.
...
Also, is it wrong to be annoyed by "hardcore casual" and the obvious softball non-attitude of the "interviewer?" This reads like a thinly veiled press release about how TS4 is "good." Fake News Award Nominee from me*!!! PC Games Insider (.biz) :s Ugh. "Access" FTW. :'(
*Mostly kidding, because I hope they do not purport to be news!!!
There’s so much spin with The Sims 4 it gets hard to take them seriously when they give these interviews. One EP per year in Sims 3? Grant has seriously lost touch with reality, that is the farthest thing from true. 2 per year was standard for 10 years until Sims 4 came along and cut that number in half in favor of doubling the amount of stuff packs.
I also love the sly glossing over of pools and toddlers. We wanted those ‘little’ things.. lol.... those two things alone catapulted Sims 4 into near flop territory before the game even launched - the least they could do is not act like they were minor omissions. Their game easily could have been canned if players didn’t fund their unfinished mess.
