We pay for a complete GAME, and they're always telling us we would rather take pictures against pretty backdrops.
They invested money in repackaging the game and trying to draw in more people rather than fixing bugs and making it playable for the customers they already had.
It feels like they keep trying to not have to do anything, while gaslighting us into believing that taking pretty pictures is so much better than playing a game.
Like we really just want to take pictures, and we need them to help us understand.
But they charge us for a fully featured GAME, of course.
After seeing them double down on conditioning their fanbase that gameplay is not what they really want or need, I'm basically expecting anything that comes out of this team to be even more DOA than Sims 4. And that they will double down even more after that.
I'm taking what I know of them, factoring in their refusal to see past the ends of their own noses, and expecting their history of doubling down and gaslighting-even-more to continue.
I realistically expect Sims 5 to be everything that they have shown themselves to be, and more besides.
