[edit] The Sims 2: Pets

Pure speculation. Other than a teaser trailer at E3, EA and Maxis have made NO statements even confirming any of this. The only statement from the PR department was that the expansion pack was not announced at E3 and it will be announced sometime after E3. The article contains nothing but guesses and has absolutely nothing credible on which to base itself. Which unfortunately doesn't seem to fit speedy deletion policy. Until such a time that Maxis confirms or denies an expansion pack this should be removed. Its also unlikely that even if they go with a pet theme that it will be called this.

• Delete if the article doesn't cite any official sources. Cheers --Starionwolf 01:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not a crystal ball clause. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 01:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Do you think E3 would lie to us? It is unlikely that this is a fake. As seggestions for adding pets to the game have been flooding the forms of The Sims 2 website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.186.60.96 (talk • contribs) .

comment since you asked, yes, there is lots of precedent for games shown at E3 not to be made, and besides what has E3 told us, it certainly didn't say "upcoming EP for The Sims 2 PC game". --Crossmr 00:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is a real game in development, and even if it is deleted, the article would be remade in a few weeks. All the other expansion packs have an article each, so this should remain in my opinion. Jamandell (d69) 22:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Its been confirmed and is being developped, no reason to delete. Theonlyedge 22:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep THe video directly says "Sims 2: Pets" and there are small clips from it. --71.241.153.148 02:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: This is just too much speculation at this point. If this really does turn out to be the name and new focus of the expansion then the article can be easily created we have some hard facts to back it up. --Hetar 02:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: This is an alledged expansion pack, and the article states that. However, we know that something is coming, so even if it isn't an expansion, but something more random (even though it blatantly is an expansion), then the article can be adapted. I don't think it should be deleted because it would only come back in a matter of days, so there is no point in doing that. Also, I agree with Theonlyedge's note. 13756 18:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - At this point in time, there is too much speculation. As this Gamespot article points out, is it an expansion? Spinoff? Stuff pack? etc... CrystallinEntity 04:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

comment http://www.snootysims.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18790 This is an e-mail from EAs PR department regarding TS2 and E3. As you can see EA clearly states that the EP was not being shown at E3, and since that is all the official information there is, it has not been announced at this time. Everything else at this point is pure speculation. --Crossmr 21:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
