Ok, now I read that it was a passion project of few gurus. Then I get it and don't understand why people are mean so much. Like terribly mean. You can disagree with stuff and just be nice about it.

You can't control emotion, but you can control your reaction. More so if it's not verbal reaction but something you write.
I still don't like this idea but I'm not mean about it. I can't even imagine how horrible feeling it must be before every lifestream, just waiting for people hiding behind usernames starting to write rude comments.
Few more like these and they will stop doing Maxis monthly completely.

@Kolikokolitka Alexa is the box looking thing for your apartment. Siri is the phone thingy. Like the initial windows 10 voice activated thingy (which I dont use because I still prefer my windows 7).
Siri is Apple's Virtual Assistant, Alexa is Amazon's.
Thanks, I know (I didn't know which company they belong to). What I wanted to say, that this was an add for US viewers and by "announcement" I didn't except to be and add for only one part of the world. If it would be a new website or something, I would get that. But this was way too far. But I understand that it's not the gurus making. I work in the game developing company as well and I see what non-gamers (non-IT) people in management could do with the game. I would just like to see the resources to be put on something useful (new items, new gameplay, bug fixes...) than this.
I like seeing things that people are passionate about, and I am deeply impressed by anyone who dares to go in front of a camera and share. Personally I only held events for my guild when I was still playing MMO’s so I only had a mic to worry about.
I treat streams the same way as I treat patches. Take a quick look on the forum or on the web to see if the subject is of interest to me. If not I go on my way to enjoy something else, in the case of patches I might wait a bit with installation. I prefer to let others enjoy themselves than raining on their fun. Passion and joy of others makes me happy.
Sorry other people are disappointed, but I got an Echo dot last month and I love using it to play music. I will definitely use this to play Sims music.
I also love seeing the devs excited about what they are working on.
I don't have an Echo so I'm just 'meh' about the whole thing but the negativity here is unnecessary. And expecting a pack announcement so soon after Get Famous is unreasonable imo.
I don't have one (yet) but both my sons do and I have a blast 'talking' to it when I visit them. Usually to tell it to play songs they've never heard of.

You don't need an echo speaker. You can download the Alexa App on your phone and access this skill that way. You will need to enable the skill once it's released.
I didn't see the live stream myself, but I've been reading Kate's twitter page. I'm sorry the devs and gurus have to go through this. They totally don't deserve the flack and negativity. I just want to say that I have much respect for the devs and gurus and they are doing an awesome job!
Dang, too bad people are disappointed. I hope all the negative comments don't deter them from doing cool things outside of work for us. The first person camera and now this. I like it! Only wish I had someone in my life who also played sims from time to time to compete with lol. These little things that are being done in the guru's spare time are really appreciated.
Gosh I feel bad for them. They clearly stressed so many times in the stream that it was a side project not detracting from TS4 development, that it's not for everyone, that it's a fun thing etc. but people are still acting like entitled babies. Shocking! Like I don't have an Alexa device at all but I'm not 🐸🐸🐸🐸, I think it's a cute little extra for those who want it and good for them!
I think there's a misconception about the Maxis Monthly being some kind of announcement platform, where in reality it's more like a chatty newsletter which sometimes contains announcements. It's a way of interfacing with the community that a lot of game developers simply don't do. If people can't handle themselves maturely, the devs and SimGurus aren't going to want to do it anymore, because why open themselves up to abuse for no reason?

Welcome to social media.
More like: welcome to human emotion and reaction.

Alexa belongs to Amazon.
Meh.
I couldn't believe some of the comments in the chat. This is a game for God's sake. People are ridiculous.

Then she's definitely not going to like what's coming in the next three+ years....
There was no hype.

It's possible it was because of an Update. I know my Echo Show received an Update Today.
