It just feels like the studio is so missmanaged and that they have no clue what they're really doing. I am not hyped and won't be because I have learned that this studio is running out of passion and that is never good.

Hmm. I actually feel like now they have people who are passionate about and enjoy the sims and want to continue releasing things that make it more fun and put a stop to the path they were on. We just need to give them the time needed to get things cruising in the right direction since the team is so small.

This mentioned “feature” might not be a game changer on its own but I bet it’s a move in the right direction.

With absolutely zero information on said feature I don’t see how you can reach that conclusion. For all we know this “feature” could be another trivial inclusion.

Also the people working on the game now, are mostly the same people who have been working on it for years. If they weren’t passionate about it for the last 4 years, then why would that all of a sudden change? If they were passionate about the game they would make it the best it could possibly be, which they have not so far and more than likely will not in the future with their teams being even smaller and more underfunded than before.

How do you know the funding each team receives, and how that's compared to the funding each team has received in every game of the franchise, and previous years of TS4's development? Unless you have numbers for all of those, there's no way to prove this and it's speculation on your part.

As regards the OP, I agree with @filipomel that the point of Grant's tweet was to show a glimpse of the process that new features go through when they are discussed by the team. A lot of people complain that the Gurus are ignoring them, or won't add XYZ feature because they're lazy/unwilling/out of touch with the fans, but a Tweet like this shows the long process new ideas have to go through before they are added to the game. They are always working on new features for TS4, which comes as no surprise because we know there will be another game pack or expansion pack in the near future - that part is not what makes the Tweet have new information.
