I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  {woot}

Hm. I wouldn't count on it.
Also, this time, I don't think it would give me as much satisfaction as it did when they released the Body Shop tool before Sims 2 came out. I guess it's because this time I know what to expect lol

Lets see if I get excited about that game again. At the moment I am enjoying Crysis (from EA, a fabulous ego shooter - finally one that I, too, enjoy playing) and Assins Creed (an Ubisoft game which is simply marvelous). And Lord of the Rings Online (Epic Good).

I don't know what to think of the offical EA press statement about the Sims 3 delay. Sounds phony to me. Well, if the truth was what we keep hearing from the developers - that they were desperate about the Feb 20th deadline and had begun neglecting important features just to meet the deadline - That I would understand.

But I still don't think that in times of a financial crisis the first option should be to cut down jobs. Which they are obviously doing. And no wonder then, that game doesn't get finished. A person can only work so much... It's the most stupid, most short-sighted of all solutions to lay off jobs. Of course, I can live with getting that game in the summer time (if I still want to get it then - no promises though). But I think they're doing a disservice to themselves. I'm not sure their expectations will be met. The recession won't go away till summer. It can not. Because the biggest nations of this world have been betrayed for their money and the culprit's name is Industry. So how do we fix that. I have no idea. I just think businesses would have to be run by human beings again. Human beings with conscience, morale, strength and visions. Then, but only then, we can resurrect our economy. As long as number juggling so called financial experts rule this system - it will not work.

I'm only disappointed in the EA leadership, the general directors and the shareholders. They do not care for their own company. I hope they won't go driving it into the wrong direction - they will ruin it.

In my opinion the developers and producers should rebel. They are good capable people they should be allowed to go on working. They sure care about their company more than the owners (shareholders).
