However, none of this is my biggest criticism. In the past years Maxis seems to cater and push for only one group of people who get a lot of attention and pandering. I know some would disagree with this, but if you aren't part of that community for whatever reason, then you may notice most big, huge updates aren't about gameplay but identity and sexuality.
From working with people in the roughly 18-25 age range, I think it's about more than just the people who are LGBTQ+, it's become a topic a lot of them are very engaged with the last few years. So I think that's probably where the interest is coming from, and that EA are on to something which now matters of a lot of players. It seems very likely when the next version of the sims is out it will also include the ability to create diverse sims from day one, and that in general we'll be taking their inclusion in things as more of a given by then, so what seems like a lot of attention today will be just normal in the end.
