The Sims 3 release day chaos and confusion

[pablo247]

It's chaos started by the community.
EA is probably completely un-aware of whats going on in these forums.

I believe they are on track and the game with be released when it was scheduled, 20th of Feb.

And yes, it was on the flyer that came with SPORE.

These rumors are most like untrue, but I'm freaking out on the inside.

I'm not going to worry until I hear an OFFICIAL notice from EA. Not anyone from the camps (they were only guests and I'm sure they weren't told anything of that nature) not any website, not the bbs, just EA.  {no}

[CountryGal4132]

{agree}  I will only believe it if it comes straight from EA.

[The Adam Diamond]

Yes, I believe it's just people overreacting. It was started by somebody that doesn't want TS3. What does that say?

[yummybunny]

It was a waste of her going to the Creator's Camp. {lol}

And yeah, noobs.  Like idiots on the BBS are sending emails to EA, but they don't know that it's all automated and if they aren't, the customer service people don't know squat!  They just say what their computer tells them to say.

Like I wish people can just shut the ____ up!

Let me be a moderator on one of those crazy forums.  It would be one release date thread, anything else would be deleted and that user would be banned...I would warn them with a single post that would be a sticky.  Too bad if they didn't read it.

[CountryGal4132]

ya, those other forums go a bit crazy...another reason why I love this one!

[Scene23]

well one way to know for sure that the game will come out on time is if the game goes GOLD.

[The Adam Diamond]

What does going gold mean? Wouldn't the game have to be out for it to go gold?

[kl_turriff]

"going gold" means when software is burned onto a "gold" cd that will be sent to the CD manufacturers to be reproduced.So named because of the CDR burnable CDs are gold backed normally. 

So once it is gold, there is no turning back! {woot}
