Yikes .... The Game Pack Trailer has more dislikes than likes
I have seen that the trailer has more dislikes than likes. Looks like the community might not be taking the news of the new game pack too well :o
Forum Discussion
So just to have something to compare to, I went back and checked out a lot of other reveal/first look trailers. Here are the ratios of likes to dislikes!
Strangerville: 80k to 4.2k
Island Living: 120k to 1.1k
Moschino: 26k to 7.6k
Realm of Magic: 125k to 3.1k
Discover University: 132k to 2.8k
Tiny Living: 118k to 4.3k
Eco Lifestyle: 93k to 39k
Nifty Knitting: 51k to 5.6k
Journey to Batuu: 36k to 81k
Goodness! EL (and Moschino) did have a fair amount of Dislikes, but their like to dislike ratio is still positive, and it's almost reverse that of JtB. For the sake of disclosure, I Liked all but Moschino and JtB, which I Disliked, and I've since changed my mind on Moschino and really enjoy it as a pack.
Okay, that's Youtube. How about on the forums? The next three polls are all, "Are you buying?" polls:
Eco Lifestyle, initial: yes 162 / 50%, no 67 / 20%, maybe 93 / 28%
EL, after the livestream: yes 250 / 77%, no 31 / 9%, maybe 40 / 12%
Nifty Knitting: yes 238 / 70%, no 39 / 11%, undecided 59 / 17%
So the initial reaction to EL was more skeptical, but at least half straight-out said, yes, we're interested, we like how it looks. By the time the livestream had come out, it was widely positive. NK was positive from the outset. There were detractors for both packs, yes, but the vast majority ended up quite positive, and even EL had more positive responses than negative even from the very beginning.

Journey to Baatu : new pack! Your thoughts?

I dont care for the Star Wars theme much, but im buying this for Build/Buy/CAS , etc. 6% / 20 votes
Are you looking forward to sims 4 journey to batuu
Yes: 46 / 35%
No: 84 / 64%
Goodness.
Whether this pack actually will be any good or not is kind of beside the point. I can't compare to MFPS because I wasn't following TS4 at the time, but this level of dislike and sheer lack of interest is vastly stronger than other 'contentious' packs like Eco Lifestyle (which has always been majority positive, even from the start!). The numbers straight-out say that the vast majority of those who have an opinion on it are not interested in this extended theme park advertisement cash grab, and I seriously hope EA actually listens.
