This silent treatment is the worst
Hello So this silence and no communication from Maxis is pissing me off. I watched Deligracys Video about the survey that came in January and at the end she made a really good point about making ...

Some of it bothers me and some of it doesn't.
For example, them not addressing the fire storm that was their 20th anniversary bothered me. They started the fire, they should have at least been seen in good faith to attempt to address people's issues.
The game is still missing basic features 6 years in, and this bothers me. I think they don't address it though because it's by design. They mean to leave things out so we can pay for it later. Sims fans seem to be loyal to a fault though and will just buy everything and anything. No need to address this because they're still making their margins and the system is working for them.
I get that they can't talk about what they are working on next though and this bothers me none. We shouldn't have a say in the next packs because really, what games do people ever get a say in? Once they get to beta or alpha testing, bugs get reported or game balance suggestions but the general public doesn't get to say things like "well you made this a shooter and I wanted to play a more hands on fight game, change this please". I know sims is a different style of game, all it's own really, but that doesn't mean we get to say what they develop next. Vote with your wallets. Buy the pack if you like it, or don't buy it. Which cycles back up to my other point of people just buying anything and everything.
Part of the problem is us. We helped make them this way by allowing ourselves to be treated this way. As long as people keep buying, they won't change a thing because they don't have to. It works for them no matter how we feel and if it's working for us or not. They don't have to have communicate with us, but some would be nice. It is good PR for them, but again, I guess they don't need it because they know we blindly will just buy all the packs.
