Maybe I’m giving EA too much credit but they don’t seem that stupid, the staff monitoring the threads obviously see our outrage whenever something displeases us and reports back to HQ to give feedback and maybe even warn them that any further pushing will result in customers leaving the franchise, and with EA already walking on thin ice with us as it is I doubt they’d go that far to get our money in their wallet.
I can imagine a world with the neighbour hoods varying in weather theme, however weather is an overall feature that expands all worlds, lots, houses, etc, what I mean is decoration wise similar to Forgotten Hallow, yes the may have a spring themed area, fall. Winter, summer, each sim designed accordingly HOWEVER it can still snow and rain and all the other things, but decoration wise it may be one season per neighborhood and personally that excites me, summer based sims freezing in a dreadful snowstorm and winter dressed sims melting in the baking heat of summer time, somehow I can imagine EA playing on this idea to make what will no doubt be a lackluster pack look more enticing.
If they were to make us purchase each season individually...it’d be a financial and promotional disaster, imagine the tweets and YouTube videos about fans leaving the sims 4, i know to say mass hysteria would ensue is overly dramatic but hey it’s happened with othe games so why should sims avoid that sort of thing?
Again, it seems like the worst possible move they could make and from watching their movements over the years via the community and advertising...I can’t see them doing something so idiotic and insulting to the fans, regardless of how insulting it is now to receive a half brained expansion pack.
Yes if they do make us buy the seasons separately then I will be the first to grab a suitcase and head to where the plumbobs are greener, but again, poor financial move and I hope someone on the staff board has some sense in their head to stop whoever may think it’s a good idea to stretch out the seasons idea, even if it means tackling them and making them listen to Katy Perry singing in simlish for a week straight.
What would be a good idea is to do another vote, this time on expansion packs and offer us seasons along with a selection of features we can decide on, that way we get what we want and they can actually do something right for once. Yes it’s easier said than done and many will sigh and my optimism but I’ve been at this long enough to stop being angry and start thinking more than the company dishing out these half finished games do. Also I take out my frustration on my sims so that’s a good way to relieve stress XD
