How EA Killed The Sims Franchise... honest reaction 

Not only did EA kill the sims franchise, but there’s a good chunk of sims players that have helped. On a video reviewing the horse “expansion” someone posted a comment about unicorns not being included (amongst SO many other things that could’ve been done & were included in previous games) & another person commented, saying “at least they gave us the option to dress them up as unicorns”. There are players that are completely satisfied with the dumbed down, watered down, lacking content.

With regards to the build mode, all I'll say is that Sims 4 just got editable ceilings in 2023, something that was already available since the Sims 2. It's inconceivable that this game is sometimes referred to as the most advanced, when it is, in fact, a complete regression.

I'm 1 million percent honest when I say I will absolutely not be getting TS5. I don't care how amazing or 💩 it is, I'm done supporting EA.

I find it ridiculous that burglars were in every single game until the Sims 4 and now if you want to even see a police officer you have to purchase the get to work DLC. Not to mention police cars don't even exist, and fire trucks don't exist, and firefighters were not even out of the game until after Sims 4 was released

The fact that the MAJORITY of players don't play without mods or cheating speaks volumes on the quality of the game and content they have given us. The game barely even works half the time. We are still dealing with the same errors and broken content they release and never fix! The loyal player base are the ones developing mods to fix their damn game.

Sorry for the long comment ahead, but I think EA is masking how popular The Sims 4 is. They don't disclose sales figures, so it's hard to gauge, but here are some things that make me think that TS4 isn't doing as well as they portray: - Journey to Batuu media play, remember the "glitch" where the pack was said to be necessary for Cats and dogs to work in the origins/ea app? Its release removed the game from RU-vid's trending page, making it harder for them to reach new people. Their next release didn't trend either. - They released the base game for free. EA did it because they weren't selling it anymore and needed a large influx of new players for their shareholders (The Sims 3 isn't free, and their DLCs rarely go on sale). That is why, at the last fiscal report, they only mentioned player network increase for The Sims 4 and not net bookings (total revenue - physical and digital) - TS4's increasing sales of new/recent DLCs are probably to recoup losses in their projected sales. It might mean that the new player influx with the BG going free didn't work as well as they intended. Just a few became real consumers who look to buy more content. They did the same with My First Pet's stuff. - EA started to pay for ads to promote the pack. With several celebrities like Millie Bobby Brown, kpop-idols, etc. When has EA needed to do that to that extent for their established franchise? Why are they doing that? They were in a kind of race with blizzard for Microsoft, but they lost. They have had a rough couple of years. The lack of FIFA money, loot boxes being prohibited/restricted in several countries, Battlefield 2042 bad release, anthem's failure, loss of Star War money, several lay-offs timed just right for the fiscal reports to project growth due to cut costs, and now their EA app is alienating every player base they have. All of that is bad publicity, increasing their lack of good reputation and hurting their brand trust, which makes shareholders scared and want to jump ship and sell while the price is still high. Not that I think they aren't a lucrative company, but they certainly haven't a big growth perspective for the near future for anyone paying attention. And they need to salvage that till their next cycle of game releases, which seems to be around 2025.

I feel like they have kidnapped my favorite game and now they are prostituting it until they are ruining it.

The High School Pack was when I finally had enough. When I saw my sims just sit and look at the teacher at the classroom I could not believe that someone would design that and that people playing it would think that was good. It opened my eyes and now I see every pack and content for what they are.

I played the sims 3 on Xbox 360. We rented it at a movie store, and I became obsessed. Got sims 4 on console (it was fun, but meh). Now I have both on desktop. Sims 4 is definitely superior in looks, but sims 3 is superior in everything else.

All I have to say is I honestly can't play the Sims 4 without mods

The most insane thing to me is the price of expansion. 40 usd is almost a whole new big title game. Remove all features that is base game and just imagine playing lets say ONLY horse ranch. You wouldn’t have any careers, not enough clothes for each category for all life stages (so naked sims). And in fact.. no sims either, just a horse you cant control. Would you pay 40usd for that new game title.

The ”success” of sims 4 is skewed cause it was also the most accessible version. Sims 3 you largely had to buy in stores, while sims has always been ”online” focused and targeting the casual PC (though it still runs shit on bad PCs)

You are spot on about the cultish thing. I've seen many times where people try to shut up people who complain about lackluster packs or give the game deserved criticism. Many who criticize the game have played at least TS3 and so know what EA is capable of. Yet, they're constantly shut down by the EA worshippers. I can't see the game getting any better with this attitude in the community continuing.

This is why I am worried about Sims 5. Its not enough to make the game look pretty, it has to keep people interested too. Sims 4 sims are the most boring of all the sims in the franchise, but boy do they look good!(with cc and mods of course)

His absolutely unhinged laughter gets me every time. 😂

I’m 41 and have been a die hard simmer for 20 years! I have been playing since the beginning. I remember requesting off of work when seasons and generations for sims 3 came out because I needed a full, uninterrupted day to play and explore. The sims 4 has been so disappointing, but it’s weird, I still buy every single pack even though I know it’s going to be mediocre! It’s like a sickness. There were some really good points made in this video, I still feel on the fence about life by you and paralives. I can’t imagine any other game replacing my love for the sims! Very curious about TS5. I feel like I need a support group 😂

Sadly we ol' time simmers will have to let this franchise go because EA has no plans in changing for the better. The Sims franchise has turned into a cash cow and Sims 5 will make the situation worse. I'm optimistic to see other game companies develop new and better life simulations that can create competition, because at the moment EA holds a nasty monopoly. I'm ready to embrace a new life simulation game.

Sims 2 is currently experiencing somewhat of a resurgence, I feel like. I've seen so many people who started with TS4 and are now trying TS2 and actually like it MORE than 4. So it's not just nostalgia. From a developer's point of view, that should be embarrassing.

sims 3 is such a good game and the aesthetics can be overcome if you add in mods (which is easy to do and the sims 4 requires mods to be fun anyways). there’s so many active moders still and if you download a new skin and some alpha cc and even the lazyduchess smooth patch then the game becomes almost completely updated for 2023

I remember when I was in middle school I’d go to CD store every single day after classes to look if another sims 1 dlc came out yet. It was like a part of a routine. There was no internet back then. And every morning on our way to art school me and my mate would discuss every single thing we discover in the game. She would make stuff up and I believed it, trying to make it happen in my game 😂 but it was so much fun, the game was so mysterious, it felt like anything could happen there. I remember my excitement when my dad agreed to buy me TS2. God, I was so addicted. I’d play day and night nonstop. When TS3 came out I stopped myself from playing. Otherwise, I knew I wouldn’t get anything done in my life. Oh, how times have changed. Edit: finished the video. I think for many people it’s nostalgia. Yes, it’s not perfect or not even good now, but it still the sims. We know the spirit of TS1 is not there anymore, but until it has “sims” name on it people would play it.

I don't like how The Sims 3 used to go on sale on Steam a lot and was pretty cheap, but EA raised the price & never put it on sale again; probably after they realized a small resurgence of dissatisfied Sims 4 players discovering & moving to Sims 3. Basically milking players to the max. I'm too lazy to do the math, but it'd be funny if full-priced Sims 3 with all DLCs ended up being cheaper than Sims 4 with all DLCs.

I switched back to the sims 3. I couldn’t deal with the lag anymore with the sims 4. I’m having so much fun!

I've been playing the sims since the beginning. The sims 3 is the best. Yes the graphics are not as pretty as TS4.

I started to play sims 16 years ago. And started with sims 2, was witness to the release of sims 3 (which was mind-blowing back then) and have been playing sims 4 since 2014. And the game clearly lacks the typical sims euphoria or character. It is even nearly after 10 years still plain in comparison to the past sims generations. 😢 But I've got high hopes for paralives.

I loved Sims 2 as a kid and played it again recently. The amount of soul put into this game honestly shocked me... You can tell the game is truly the creative expression of those who worked on it. Not sure what's up with that and why Sims 4 doesn't feel the same 😢

I remember EA having this tagline that says "challenge everything". They certainly aren't anymore. Also TS4 removed the autoroof feature, so they don't exactly have advanced building features when they remove one feature that's from the previous games.

Rachel’s excitement when she said ✨dishwashers✨ will forever live in my memory

I honestly haven't bought anything Since 4 related since the Werewolves pack. I was so disappointed in the small world. I decided then that unless EA/Maxis steps up their quality over quantity and lazy implementation policies, and no more primarily set dressing worlds, etc., I wouldn't buy anything else. I have stood by that decision. For a short while I was going to wait for the Sims 5, but then I thought, "Why would I give EA/Maxis any more of my hard earned money. There is some real competition coming (LBY, Paralives, etc.) and I have decided to wait for those (viewing gameplay videos on RU-vid prior to purchasing of course). Thanks for another awesome and honest critique of the game!

Seeing how Baldur’s Gate 3 came out, this whole situation with EA and The Sims feels even worse.

PS: you don't have to wait for sales with the Sims 3... There's plenty of ways to get it if you have a VPN 🙃

There’s 3 types of sims 4 players 1. EA defenders 2. Hates EA but still supports them by buying every pack 3. Legitimately hates EA and refuses to support

As a console player, the reason why I buy all the packs is because basegame is SO SHIT that I feel I need to buy more content in order to keep it interesting. I had The Sims 3 on console and also played The Sims 3 on my friend’s computer. Both were entirely different games, but even with my plain old Sims 3 on the console (which was only semi open world by the way) I would still play it for HOURS. 😢 Same with my friend’s PC version. The Sims 3 basegame was so good that the expansions were bonus content. Honestly I guarantee it’s gonna be mostly console players that contribute to those DLC sales because we feel like the game is shit without it. Cause I tell you now if I had a computer and could play on there all I’d have is CC and mods because let’s face it the modding community is better than EA itself at this point. But without the ability to download mods console players have to settle for the shit EA are putting out there.

I was one of the ones who had only played sims 4, i started to get into video games right as the sims 4 came out, so for 7.5 years all i knew was the sims 4. a year and a half ago I downloaded the sims 3, and while I haven't ventured into any of the earlier games, I have now fallen for the sims 3 and bought every expansion LOL. I can't even remember the last time I launched the sims 4. Sims 4 may be the prettiest, but compared to the (at least the sims 3) earlier games its got like half the gameplay and entertainment, if not even less. PLEASE sims 4 players, try to see past the graphics for a minute and try out an earlier game, I promise once you get into it you don't even notice the graphics.

I genuinely miss the sims 3 so much. I miss the original lots, going to the park and socializing, taking my pregnant sims to the spa, getting robbed and freaking out, going shopping and cooking. I used to have an alarm to stop playing cause I could literally spend 12 hours sitting there🤭😭I think I'm going back

At this point if Paralives or some other life sim adds support for .package files I’m SPRINTING over to that one and converting all my cc

I also don’t think many people talk about this when this kind of convo comes up, but a lot of the base game items, those disgusting cheapo counters for example, are just downright ugly? i feel like EA will purposely make base game build mode/CAS items ugly so that you’re incentivized into buying packs. Along with that, locking occult sims behind packs is a cheap way of making people who are more creative or experimental with their gameplay have to pay to play how they want.

LBY and Paralives are going to appeal to longtime players, especially those of us who have played all generations. Currently I believe that TS5 will be completely stripped and any quality furnishings will be behind paywalls (including some very important items like a fire alarm). I will most likely download it but I will be damned if I pay more than $50 total for things that should be base game. Unless the gameplay itself is amazing, I don't intend to spend a cent. And well, my game play is amazing in TS4 only because I do have all the packs (excluding Batuu) and a very good imagination. But I post TS2 videos as well as TS4 videos and it's funny how people who've never played TS2 are asking where they can find it.

I’ve played the sims since the beginning. I own every pack of every version (my son is impressed, but I don’t want to sit and add up the numbers, lol) I really love the game, but the bugs are getting more and more annoying to the point where I’ve started downloading mods to fix the game (isn’t that ironic?!) And yes, the fact that we need to buy so many DLCs to add features to the game is getting annoying too, to the point where I’m not even looking forward to project Rene, which kind of saddens me. I was always happy and excited to buy the new Sims game but not anymore, because I’m thinking there’s a limit to where they’ll be allowed to offer a defective expensive game. I still play the sims 4, but probably will not engage in their next money grabbing game, and will explore Life by You and Paralives instead to see what they have to offer.

i've played the sims 1 to 4. my favourites are still 2 and 3 (let's not forget about MEDIEVAL - absolute gem, personally). sims 4 looks pretty, sure. but you can't do much. you notice this even more if you've played the previous sims games. i've got thousands of hours in sims 2 and 3.... and 20 hours in the sims 4 (and i think that's generous) 😥 not too optimistic about the sims 5 but fingers crossed!

I have been with the Sims since day one. Thanks to Will Wright and the awesome team at Maxis it's been fun. But after EA bought Maxis things have been slowly going downhill with the Sims. It's turned into a cash-and-grab and leaving the players to fix the game themselves with second-party Mods. The sad thing is we continue to buy these untested packs and EA is laughing all the way to the bank leaving players stranded.

I am experiencing the Mandela effect. I swear I watched That guy's video before. But it was not in August. So either he made a new one Or I'm going crazy. Aside from that I am really sad about The Sims as well I don't have high hopes for Sims 5 but....

I’ve played sims 2-4 . Ya 4 does suck compared to 2 or 3. I wish they’d sell 2 and Katy Perry Sweet Treats. I raged quit caz they had no toddlers. Sims 4 is hard to build for me. Sims 3 I was a master I’d make houses under water and all sorts of wild stuff.

The only thing the Sims 4 is good for is Wicked Whims. I play for 5 min, do what needs to be done & exit💋

I would say that EA just know how to go with the flow and with the latest decades-long trend of "graphics bad = game bad", which is absolutely no excuse. But, until the competition steps up, EA will get away with all this bs, sadly

I used to love watching that beginning animation of the house being put together. I wanted a house that looked just like that. Also the sims 1 is a memory of an easier time with a lot less stress.

I'll be honest I overly use the premade rooms😭I know if I'll actually put effort into the builds I'll spend too much time in build mode, so I just play my ideas in ugly af builds that are just premade rooms with weird roofing slapped on top of them, and if I like playing that save maybe I'll fix it later lmao

I started with sims 2, then with sims 3, but when sims 4 was released I didn't want it, because I thought it was ugly and boring and no open world. I got it years after release, when it was a little bit less worst. And I got it for Christmas, I haven't bought it myself. Now that I think about it, I haven't spent a single penny on that game. Everything was given to me by family and friends. Love them for that.

Sims 4 is the only game I’m not ashamed to “pirate”. EA just doesn’t deserve to be supported. Never bout anything official from them and never will.

Ofcourse growing together is the most popular pack! LOL Most simmers want family and life gameplay, it wasn't there for years. So any of those packs will sell. And EA knows that. That's why they're so stingy with it and charge the most for it.

So I remember a few years back when EA got called out for their horrible sales figures and people were posting the charts on their channels to show and then EA just stopped reporting it or something like that so there is no legitimate way to see how well they are doing with the Sims so no one in their right mind should be believing the fact that anything they sell now is their “bestselling “ .

Satch looking out the window on repeat at the hot builder is a mood 🤣

When I compare sims 1 community lots with sims 4 early ones, I feel betrayed🥺

The price is even worse for canadians, it's 59,99$ the expansion, 39,99$ the game pack, 14,99$ the stuff pack and 6,99$ the kit. It's SO much.

I remember when Sims 1 and Sims 2 were out I could start playing in the morning and play all the way until night time and literally would have to make myself stop and go to bed because it was so easy to get immersed into this world! I would make a machinima movies. There was this community of directors who made amazing movies and when Sims 4 came around they killed The Sims directors and made movies so hard to do in Sims 4. It's just not the same.

(This is just a metaphor but) It's like EA/Maxis is like," We will sell you a tv with a remote), but the remote comes with just a few buttons. And to get the full usage or playability out of it is to purchase the additional buttons."

Fun fact: First game that ever had DLC was Total Annihilation from 1997 it was a PC game.

14:56 that’s exactly why i ONLY build there IS NO GOOD GAMEPLAY. it’s absolutely insane. i use to watch the sims 3 when i was younger since i could never play it and i knew that ts4 was terrible when it first came out and i’m realizing that it’s STILL terrible 😭🤦🏽‍♀️ i have only bought the packs when their on sale (50%)

the number 1 thing that keeps me unable to play ts4 for more than a few minutes is definitely the lack of open world. if i wanted the extremely outdated system of ts2, i'd play ts2, cause that still has better gameplay. but hey at least lots of 9 year old girls with the lowest end virus infested walmart laptops can now buy lots and lots of DLC!

Most people are creatures of habit and as myself a loyalist The Sims is my thing, it's personal and for many years I have delighted myself and creating families and the chaos that came with it😂 Sims 4 sucks, The More influencers speak negatively about the Sims 4, people will continue to buy it. They have to know for themselves, maybe try to fix it with mods, I have stopped purchasing ❤. 🌞

The Sims 3 is better than the Sims 4, and sure, the graphics look like mashed potatoes, but it's so much more superior than the sims 4 the sims is dead I'm sorry and EA is a money grabbing scam

Ok so EA is bad but they arent the worst offender at this. Good ole Todd Howard is by releasing THE SAME game with little improvement and no bug fixes for over a decade. And yeah..... .I bought it. Many times over for every machine I own. 😂 Same with Sims. But growing together was my last straw.

I still have all the original sims game disks and game guides for each expansion. I will always love and play the sims.

the mysims series will forever be replayed by me

I would love to switch back to The Sims 3 but my computer didn’t handle it well the last time I tried. I go back to The Sims 2 quite a bit though.

I noticed that the sims in a relationship don’t snuggle while sleeping in the sims 4. It’s a small detail I miss but they should bring it back

Sims isn't a life simulator anymore, its a doll-house simulator.

Aww, the mention of rollercoaster tycoon made me smile! Since I’ve fallen out of love with the sims I’ve revisited RCT/RCT2, happy to say there’s still a thriving community and I’m having so much fun building gorgeous parks and crazy rides once again. Still is and always will be a near perfect game in my eyes.

Please make more sims 3/2 videos🩷 I’m so over the sims 4. We know! It sucks!

You described exactly my toxic relationship with the game; get excited, spend time in cas and building, and when I finaly get to play it's boring, slow, tasteless... and then again I stop playing for weeks. I played sims 1 and 2 with no expansions and I had a blast, I played from friday to sunday and waited again for the weekend to keep playing. Now I think about it 1000times before even turning the pc on, since I know it will take a while for the ea app to run (if so), I will probably have to download another actualización or whatever and another million years for each loading screen

EA is a plague. They're killing BioWare as well, who make my favourite video games. They just forced them to fire like 50 people including people who have been writing for BioWare for 20 years. It's wild. The one thing I'll say about sims 4 is that it depends on your playstyle. Like for me, I really really enjoy building, and I find it really fun and relaxing, so in THAT way, sims 4 is great for me. But the gameplay is so much more shallow than previous games and I get bored of live mode fairly quickly, which I didn't with previous games. (I've played every sims game since sims 1 came out when I was 9 🤣)

For sims 3, steam has sales on it's packs in almost every major sale. They can go down to a minimum of $5.00.

We NEED those competitors to The Sims - Life By You and Paralives, so EA - hopefully thinks twice, before releasing another bland The Sims game (Sims5). Right now, from what I've heard about the fifth game, I have no intention on buying it.

For me...I don't know. I'm done with sims 4 for now and have been playing 2 and 3 more (mostly 2, my fave) but I don't like the thought of giving up on it entirely cause of how much I've invested in it, same for buying a new game, but I HATE that the EA app can't be fully offline that's a big thing for me. I doubt I'll pay much attention to sims 5, mostly cause it'll no doubt be fully online and (mostly) multi-player. If either I might try Paralives the other looks too complicated to me

Watch Sims 5 or future games become a PEGI 3, there will be no woohoo, babies are dropped on the doorstep through fairies; no killing sims, they go to a perfect afterlife as bunnies or some sorts; no pool no fire no fireplace no bbq no 'bad' traits because they are too 'triggering'. EA is making a game catering to children, they wouldn't care long time players leaving, even better, no one will complain about how lacking the games are compared to Sims 1-3. £0.99 for a hair sound great to a kid compared to 20-something for a pack--who cares what life simulation is really about, you can paint puppies with brushes, making a house for your cute little sims and dress them up like barbies, that's what life simulation is about for them. Nah EA and Sims team wouldn't bother with long time players and those that grew up with their games, they are targeting an audience that will love everything that shoved down their throats with the lowest efforts possible, as long as they are cute, pretty and good to look at. Just look at their events and livestreams, it's like watching teletubbies with barney the purple dino and little ponies; look at gamechangers and how dramatic, 'dumbed' and loud they are, how many of us unsubbed them because of how 'stupid' they had become? EA doesn't need their loyal long time fans, the 20th anniversary hottub was a brutally clear sign, they need children that would love all the colourful and cute packs they made, and parents that are none the wiser, hoping that paying £20 would shut their kids up for 10 minutes.

EA isn’t even the McDonald’s of Sims games. Because even McDonald’s sells a halfway decent product compared to EA’s trash.

EA do the same money making scheme with FIFA games, how many FIFA games are there that just simply repeat the same idea? my brother used to play, he bought three versions of the same game each year (new game came out almost every year simply to update the football players within the games)

I haven’t played sims since they messed up console controls 🤦🏽‍♀️and I don’t plan on playing until it’s fixed

Funnily enough I saw the mentioned video yesterday while grinding a tycoon game watching tons of sims4 videos and whats funny is how the community buys things they dont need seems childish to me

Will you ever review the Urbz? Absolute fav from the sims!

I got off the train by Wedding Stories, that was the last pack I bought from them.

Hosently, if they want to make good money out of the sims, they should just give us (sims 3 gamemode) and (sims 4 buildmode) and (sims 2 for storylines)

As someone who has played sims 1, 2, 3, & 4 throughout my life it saddens me to know that some ppl will never truly know how BAD the sims 4 sucks in comparison to the previous games.

The Sims 5 could be a rerelease of TS3 with upgraded graphics and gallery, and I would not be mad at all. Maybe more up-to date CAS.

I'm in a cycle where the only thing bringing me joy on the sims is my not so berry challenge, I go in wanting to make something new and then it's like damn why start over when I'm already one calendar year into a save file.

I’m a pretty loyal fan of the Sims. I’ve purchased every single expansion to the Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3. I have most of the Sims 4 packs, but I refused, REFUSED to purchased Star Wars and My Wedding Stories.

I’m only 25 and I’ve played the sims 2, 3 and 4. and 3 was definitely my favorite. The vacation expansion was soo good.

It makes me really upset but it sadly is true the sims 4 is killing itself.... i hate to see it i miss ts3 & ts2

I never played sims 1 but even the sims 2 having DLC blew my mind after switching from sims 2 console back in the day the sims 3 being ugly is extremly easily solved by an NRAAS mod (maybe master controller) to increase amount of sliders and installing custom sliders, having a couple of default replacement skins eyes and hairs, and some cc hairs to improve the look of the game, for the rest of the game you need no cc as there is create a style and you can make anything

Tbh I think part of the reason why Simers buy broken packs is that they hope someone will make a mod to fix them, like I've heard of people who have made mods and found tricks that fixed the absolutely horrific lag from Sims 3 Island Paradise (I think the trick was to delete all npc houseboats) and speaking from experience, that pack had a horrific lag, I used to fight for hours to play half a sims day

Funny thing, I discovered Bull Technology only yesterday for some reason. And here you are, linking to them. His recent video comparing Sims4 to Paralives and Life by You made me think. Later that night watching my sim's arm poking through another sim like some bizarre fatality move, I found myself thinking: "Imagine the outcry if this happens in Life By You, but here we have been fine with it for 9 years."

I wonder what Will Wright thinks of the turn the game took 😢😢

Hey thanks for the reaction video!

Why doesn't anyone talk about sims bustin out? That was the first sims I ever played. I loved it so much that I went on a hunt for it in 2019 to play again.

600 dollars for no gameplay at all!! Instead in S2 i had 1000 of hours of gameplay, it got never boring!!!!!

I wonder what features moved from basegame to DLC and what content division we gonna see in the sims 5 lmao like we're gonna have a dogs expension pack and a cats expension pack lmao

I feel like builders who donmt really play with the sims themselves and just enjoy shareing they builds will stick to the next sims game cause they probably will have the pretiest looking game and the most advanced build mode, but other regulars players will definatelly move on to other options

4:19 Distracted by a hot builder 😜👷🏼❤️

All i want to do in sims 4 is have my family own the exact same burger restaurant in every world like chain restaurants but they dont make any money unless you are in the restaurant and it kills me.

I hate to say it but I was one of them people who bought packs knowing they would be broken/glitchy and I would most likely be bored after like 15 mins into playing the pack, I stopped doing this after the Horse Ranch pack. I just got fed up of being let down and bored, wasting my money on a game I actually don't have fun playing, and before I would say with each new pack mabey this time it might be different I might have fun, now I know better and enough is enough.

All my hopes are set in Paradox… who also loves DLCs, but they at least care about the base game
