User blog comment:LostInRiverview/EA hits a rough patch - will this affect TS4?/@comment-24416335-20140207060920

I'm not entirely surprised by this. Ever since Ubisoft started dominating with the Assassins Creed Series, revamped Rayman, and the Raving Rabbid franchise, EA has noticeably dropped product quality across the board in order to compete. I'm fortunate that there are many talented Simmers out there that have been cleaning up after EA with mod creators like twallan and the mod the sims community and cinrict and others giving tech support in the forums.

If former employees, ones that enjoy the community as much as we do, say that EA is mishandling the development of TS4, I'm likely to believe them.
