EA apologises for first Behind The Sims Summit, "did not fairly represent players"

EA recently held its first Nintendo Direct-like event Behind The Sims Summit, and has issued an apology after only featuring one "black simmer."

Last week EA shared a few announcements related to its life-sim series, including a very early look at the next game, currently titled Project Rene. The Sims is known for having quite a big and proactive community, with Sims content creators often actually brought in for consulting work, and frequently featured in events like these. Except as pointed out by streamer Ebonix, there was only a single black simmer featured in the presentation.

In turn, the official Sims Twitter account quoted Ebonix's tweet providing a statement in which it said, "Our creator segments during the Behind The Sims Summit did not fairly represent our vast community of players. Black Simmers deserve to feel seen in all that we do at The Sims, so we're holding ourselves accountable to this mistake and will do better moving forward."
