Nah, I'm actually on the fence with TS4, not trying to look down on people . Some of the people on both sides of the coin are being totally ridiculous, though -- it's their money, their business. Why should it affect you if someone does (not) buy the game?

I do get what you're saying. I find it annoying, too, from both sides. It just came off as a bit up-on-a-pedestal sort of thing. I practice my patience on these forums a lot. I also use them to avoid doing work I should be doing.

They make it easy to pinpoint the people clearly overcompensating for their boring lives
I work from home or the road on my computer. I tab over to the Sims 3 website when I get writer's block or I need a mental break from something immensely taxing, because I write for a living and that can get incredibly monotonous, lol.
I'm saying this only to point out that what might seem to you as misspent time in a person's "boring life" might have actually taken them five minutes to compose while on their lunch break. :?

I've been trying to be nice and reasonable to other people's opinions, but it sucks when you want an actual discussion and 4-5 of the same pro and anti people come by and post stupid gifs and "witty" replies.
Oh, look at you, drinking people's tears and eating popcorn on the release day. I didn't know you needed the extra weight.

As a fellow writer I feel your pain with the writer's block.
Not gonna lie, I've just lost my patience with a lot of the people over here, kinda snapped and wrote the OP.
I actually think most people don't care if you buy the freaking game or not -- they care that you're being a jerk about it. (Not you specifically, Halle, that's just a general you.) I really meant the people that seem to be here 24/7 writing novella sized posts about how much they don't care about how people feel about the game -- if you truly didn't, why'd you post it? If you like TS4 play it. If you don't do whatever else. :roll:
I don't mind the opinions and debates. I actually like coming here a few times a day to catch up on everyone else's thoughts. It's good to know how the other people playing the same game feel about things. It's not that I like drama, it's just that I like to know what's coming and what people think about it.
I post here to complain because it's cathartic. Here I don't know anyone so it's easy to whinge and moan as much as I want without worrying about offending people. I reckon with the number of posts here, it's easy to be emotional *lol* and then forget about it afterwards since posts will be pushed down into oblivion in minutes provided you don't try to bring others into your complaints.
I don't care that people are going to buy the game nor am I trying to discourage them. Heck, I hadn't even planned on cancelling when I signed up here. In fact I was worried I'd be encouraged to since everywhere I looked for info there were people saying that people who preordered were idiots.
Anyway, I just cancelled my preorder this evening and want to shout it out all over this board because after today, I am relegated to being a person that plays the sims (TS2) and not a "fan".
(plus hanging out here allows me to procrastinate on my midterm due tomorrow *shhh...* :oops: )

Sorry, OP, I couldn't resist a quip.
I think no one ever liked StarTrek Deep Space Nine. :P
