Why are you still complaining?
Oh, yes, I see.
This is a COMPLAINING FORUM.
At this point I would love EA to not release a Pets EP so that we all be upset and unhappy for an obvious cause, at least.
I think we're getting dangerously close to what I recently discovered is known as "cheer pressure." Check this out:
It's a phenomenon colloquially known as "cheer pressure" and it's rife in management in general, not just the gaming industry. Anyone with misgivings about a given business decision is criticised as having a negative attitude. As a result you see overly optimistic predictions which lead to the business chasing the reward without considering the risk. It's especially noticeable in cases such as yours, when everyone with a shred of sense can see a project is doomed but leadership refuses to listen because shut up and stop being so damn negative.
Bonus points if they later blame the failure on the naysayers for being insufficiently positive to achieve the vision.
Granted the quote refers to development itself rather than amongst fans, but I mean you're basically saying now you want this to fail or simply not be made just so we can blame those that dare complain or express they're losing faith in this EP. C'mon now...
