@vyvexthorne Electronic Arts net worth as of April 26, 2019 is $28.3 billion. You don’t need to defend a multi-billion dollar company. They can do it themselves. They need to QA test their games, and people like you are encouraging bad business practice by enabling these giant companies to act like this and get away with not taking care of their stuff before they release it. Look at the cost of just the DLC in the Sims 4 - $500 dollars. You know thousands of people bought DLC. They get a lot of profit from the Sims just in DLC, not to mention all the other games they have that also push DLC.
The Sims has an entire business unit dedicated to it in EA, so I’m sure their development team isn’t that small. Even if it is, that doesn’t excuse them because there is no reason for this lack of attention. Again, look at their worth and try to tell me why they can’t have a bigger team.
EA needs to earn the respect of their players, because for many people they haven’t gained that respect yet, or have lost it and not earned it back. I also played Sims 4 on PC and had a plethora of game breaking issues (that I reported) that are not exclusive to PS4. Nothing was addressed there either, and it won’t be here on console. They just want our money, and don’t even seem to care about what they are selling anymore. It isn’t like this so the first time EA has neglected a game and it’s issues. Over the years people have hadn’t so many issues with EA is isn’t a new thing. I mean, just look at Star Wars Battlefront controversies. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice... well shame on me.
There is no being patient with them, don’t you understand? I’ve been patient and loyal for years. Stupidly, might I add. They have been given too many chances. I say shame on me because I should stop supporting EA by giving them my money, however they shouldn’t be the ones deceiving their customers. We should expect better from companies like EA, I shouldn’t see issues like these and go “well it’s EA what do I expect.” That’s pathetic, and they need to be held to a higher standard. Looks like I’ll be one of the hundreds, if not thousands of people, who finally decided that buying EA games is a waste of money. Maybe if enough people stop supporting them their ways will change, but even if it doesn’t at least less people will be scammed by EA. I’m still considering pursuing a refund, however I doubt they will actually give it.
