They are either not prioritizing bugs that are top reported on Answer HQ, or they are understaffed, because some of the top reported bugs should have been fixed months ago or they should have been picked up by QA so they never happened in the first place.
I think they should expand the laundry list with more information about the bugs that they are working on that might not be fixed this month and prioritize the top reported bugs on Answer HQ.
As for the understaffed part...I dunno, work on your charisma skill and try to convince the people in charge that you need more people to help you with bug fixing and quality control. You should probably also look at the routines you have in place at your company.
We know Maxis is understaffed, the question is why??? The only other game that EA has that brings in more money than Sims is FIFA.
Exactly that, they're still making so much money so why bother spending more money on the game? EA only cares about profit, if they spent more money on the game then maybe players would be happier, but their profit margins would most likely be lower. Their formula of overpricing content has worked for them for the past 6 years and their content is selling fast, so why would they change?
If you're a money hungry company like EA who doesn't give a d-mn about its players and you have two companies - one spends 2000 and makes 100,000, the other spends 5000 and makes 120,000 which option would you chose? That's how the higher ups at EA think about it, sure option 2 would increase customer satisfaction but it doesn't make them more money
