I'm only 5 minutes on this forum today and I can ascertain that the people who were positive before Sims creating camp became even more positive and the people who were negative before Sims creating camp became even more negative.
Please comment if I'm wrong

I've seen some positives who would still be positive if they were shipped a box of flaming dog ***. I don't think you can categorize the response of the forums into two categories.
The us vs. them mentality was developed at some point and when some people took those sides, they planted themselves firmly there. To admit they could feel otherwise would be admitting they were wrong or unsure on some level. Some positive people view negative people as the "enemy" instead of a fellow sims player with an objective viewpoint, and vice versa.
If you ever deal with political elections, it is a lot like that. Someone might not even know the party they are voting for, or the party the support did something hugely corrupt and it was made public but people will still vote for that person simply because of time invested in supporting them and how it'd look to back down from their position. They'd rather vote for corruption than vote with people they view as their enemy.
Human psychology :shock:
I try to keep a balance view of pros and cons and have mentioned that there are things in this game I do like and appreciate but after even more bad news on a day that should have been incredibly exciting for the entire community, it made my cons even that much more prominent. I can't back this game nor can I be okay with what EA is doing.
As for the forums, I think a lot of the crap news from yesterday got the negative people more upset (who are already disgusted from the previous cuts) and made others who were on the fence feel cruddy, and to combat all the negative posts, some of the positive people became more vocal and defensive.
This is not the Sims game that it used to be, it is not about the Sims anymore.
The doubtful dread what fresh Tartarus approaches with almost every passing day, seeing with sharp focus their nightmares come to horrifying life.
The ardent and eager gadflies of the forum cluster in increasing numbers as the hopeful and doubtful join their ranks to torment the few the proud, the neutrals.
We have a Two Tribes situation developing here, ladies and gentlemen. And you know what happens when two tribes go to war.

Me too. What they've done to babies was the final nail in the coffin.
No need to yell about it. You've made your stance quite clear in the past. Unless you're trying to convince yourself of something.

Sorry I don't see any yelling, no capitol letters.
and yes I am very happy for sims 4.
No need to convince myself as I have already pre ordered.
I can be happy if I want.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

I have to agree with this as well. I spent hours on here and on various webistes, trying to decide and figure out what was in and what was out... and I'm spending my time with sims 2 and 3 instead.
Yesterday there were links with articles or videos with comments on how the poster felt. I would read or watch and came away with a completely different thought.
If you were firmly in either camp I doubt that your mind was changed. If you had, even small, doubts either way the info may have changed your mind.
This is is what I've witnessed as well. In fact there were a couple of staunch supporters who flipped to the not buying side that took me a little by surprise. But I everyone has their breaking point.

SO glad there are others that feel this way! I'm going to flee Sunset Valley before they begin rounding us up to work in the Sims 4 expansion pack work camps!
