While I'm surprised that they've already put University on sale at 50% off I don't personally feel very slighted that I paid full price. I opted to do so, and I was granted access to the newest content earlier than those who wait for the sales.
In addition, I like the Sims 4/the Sims franchise in general. So long as it's a profitable venture for them they'll continue to make content. It's not the worst thing in the world that they're making a killing on each of these packs so long as they deliver a product that's commensurate with what we're paying, imo. It'll keep the Sims 4 around, and someday it'll ensure a Sims 5 comes along.
Same here - if it's a pack I want, I want it now, not when it goes on sale.
If they sold it at, say, $20 from the outset, with no chance of a sale later, they'd sell fewer units and definitely make less money. (And they do need to cover their cost and produce a profit for their shareholders, who invested their money in the company.) Some people won't buy unless they feel like they're getting a deal. And, if I'm only interested in part of a pack, it makes more sense to wait until it's on sale - that way, I'm literally paying for what I get - full price for the pack I want for game play and BB-CAS, half price if I only want the BB-CAS. The dollar amount is less important than feeling like I paid the right price.
