TS3 was to include weather.

Because I am seriously fucking bored:
"I have been thinking about that for a long time and I even have a idea of what the game would be like. However, I am not a game maker, and know no one who is ether. But I know it would work and it would be even better then The Sims games.
On the subject at hand, I am not surprise that EAixis would do this. They even lied and said there would be ducks, and swans in the ponds. Remember the thing at the top of the site when they had the thing where you could try out making a Sim friend? In back ground, there was the park, and you could see swans swimming in the pond! Where are the swans now?
Problem is, that as long as most of the people fall for their lies, and they make all the millions they were expecting they don't care about those of us who are not happy. Look how they treat us when we ask for help from EA Tech department, most of the time they just send you a bunch of pre-made answers, which most of the time has nothing to do with your problem, and if you complain, they will say they're sorry, but then send you the same set of answers again, and if you do it again they tell you they're sorry and make you jump through a bunch hoops, doing thing they tell you to do, which never works.
Then you talk about your problem on the forum, and then one of your fellow players whines up giving you the help you needed, and you finally fix your problem. This has happened to me many times.
Now I don't even ask EA for help, I just post on the forums and see if anyone else maybe had the problem and fixed it them self, or got help somewhere/somehow. It's like with EA, they sense you already bought the game and they really don't care if you're happy with it.
Sure if millions of players started complaining and they didn't sell as many copies of their new EP as they were hoping for, then they might start listening to us. But that won't happen, they know they'll sell all if not more than what they're expecting or hoping, because millions of people will buy it even though its too pricey, and they're already having problems with the base game. They will buy it thinking it might fix it, or make it better (if they're not having tech problems). It's really sad how the respect for the consumer has just went out the window.
Oh some companies still show a little, but most don't show any, and EA is right at the top of the ladder. It's capitalism at its worst, oh and no one call me a commie please, I think both is wrong, but that all is another complaint on another site. Good to see that not everyone worships every thing that EA or Maxis do.
On the BBS they would cut your throat if you were in their presence, if you said anything against the almighty EA or Maxis/ Sims makers, or Will Wright, or so it seems. It's nice to have a place to complain about them at, even if EA will never hear, probably!
You guys who post all the stuff from the STORE, are my internet heroes, like you're a bunch of Robin Hoods!"
Now I'll finish off by saying: Lolwut?

Everyone is posting about how EA treats it's customers. I totally agree. But what about the employees? My father worked on Fight Night Round 2 & 3. Back then, around christmas i NEVER saw him, except for two days: Christmas and New Years Eve/Day. It sucked balls for them.
Sorry if this is too off topic.

Pookysimslover: That is one serious abuse of commas. There should be a reason for the comma to be there, and random insertions don't count.

Not clear what you're saying here. You said that you never saw him around Christmas, but that you saw him on Christmas? Doesn't that count as being "around Christmas"?

Unfortunately, this is pretty common in software development and very common in game development. EA may be bad, but they aren't the only ones.

From my father's work experience, (along with his ex-coworkers), EA is one of the worst out there.
