I feel the marketing collateral, pack trailers, and messaging does not speak to me. It feels juvenile to me. I feel alienated, left behind, and not at all a priority for EA.
I agree. It's become clear that with Sims 4, they are only concerned with the players who are, say, under 35. I was 40 or 41 when I first played the original Sims, and I never really felt this way about it, 2 or 3. But now, the music in the trailers, the celebrities and brands they put in the game, etc., is just not for our age bracket.
Honestly, I doubt the marketing team is interested in anyone 30+ these days. I look blank any time a social media personality or fashion brand is mentioned as a collaborator or inspiration. I still don't know (or care) who Baby Ariel is so I ignore that sim. Sims 2 had the H&M and Ikea packs which I'd at least heard of. I rarely shop in those places, but at least they are names I'd heard of when they came out. The staff who use the forums however, definitely seem much more inclusive.
