I think it's time to say goodbye to the Sims as we know it, and welcome to whatever they announce tomorrow. Sadly.
They honestly have no need to care for those who bought all packs allready, cause they allready got that money. What they care about is new revenue wich comes from the players joning in now when basegame goes f2p.
We can whine and complain all we want but it's not gonna get us anywhere, newer generations are just gonna see us as oldies who complain and then keep buying whatever they throw out.
I'm sorry for sounding negative, and it's not any critisim against the devs, we live in a world were it's getting harder and harder to survive financially so I understand why this has to be done.
