I don't think the gurus are purposely holding back information from us, I'm pretty sure they want to tell us what they are working on. I think they have certain rules they have to follow with announcing stuff so they can't share certain information. So it would be between not sharing any sort of information at all or trying to share as much as they can without breaking any rules. Which is what I would say they are trying to do.
And I'm not going to disagree that it maybe causes over speculation and disappointment. To me I'm fine with it. It's cool to see what ppl think it's going to be. I mean it's fun speculation as long as everyone is aware that there's a huge chance it won't be what they're expecting.
But could they just say exactly what they are working on? It would be best if they could but clearly they can't. And because it says they are researching then I would guess that would mean they are trying to see if the feature can work in the game and how it can be implemented. In this case maybe it would be a good idea to not say what the feature is until later because I'm guessing that it's possible that it won't work or can't be implemented in the way they hoped it could. So after everyone gets hyped and starts saying "OMG spiral stairs is coming to sims 4" Then they have to come out and say "oop sorry can't be put in the game".
But they can also not say anything about researching a new feature and just say something later in development about what the feature is.
I think they are just trying stuff so maybe they won't do anything like this again or maybe they will. I think this is the closest we will get to "transparecy" with this game unfortunately. But I do expect maxis monthly to be more transparent. Like stuff that would be announced in quarterly teasers. But for free patches I'm not sure cause even those weren't in quarterly teasers.
I also think this new feature will take long. They have been working on our last update since February so I expect this new feature to come early next year or the end of this one.
