Very Angry and Disappointed
I was really excited about continuing my new Wyrd Girls story. I was enjoying the current arc and was looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble I could get Miranda, Cassie and Gwen into. Now, I am so angry about today's "patch" that I don't want to touch The SIMS 4.
I've seen a lot of angry and frustrated posts from people, about how The SIMS 4 is completely glitched, how EA doesn't respect the community, how they rely on modders to solve their problems for them, etc. I admit, I wasn't bothered about it before. I was enjoying my game and if it was a little glitchy at times, at least I was having fun.
Suddenly, today I'm seeing it with different eyes. The failure to even address problems with Wants and Fears is somehow my line in the sand. I'm really not sure why. I don't even mean a failure to solve the problem. Simply to not even acknowledge it... to not simply say they're working on it but haven't fixed it yet. That, I find, to be disrespectful to the community.
I'm sure most people will ignore this post. Some will absolutely reply defending EA and saying I'm wrong. Others will probably reply agreeing with me or wondering why it took so long for me to open my eyes. Well, I'm not here to debate the point.
Truthfully, I'll probably play again. Eventually, I'll update Wyrd Girls again... but some of the joy will have gone out of it for me. Some of that love of the game died for me today.
So I'm choosing to post, to stand up as publicly as I can, as a small contributor to these forums, and say - I am very angry and disappointed.
Wyrd (fate) is all about choices after all. I choose not to be silent.
