Following a fierce community backlash, EA has announced it will be reversing its decision to skip the launch of The Sims 4's new wedding-themed DLC in Russia - a move it originally claimed to be making due to the country's restrictive laws around LGBT+ content - and is delaying the release of the expansion in all territories to next Wednesday, 23rd February.
EA and developer Maxis' decision to skip the Russian market rather than be forced to compromise its vision regarding the wedding expansion's heavy focus on LGBT+ couple Camille and Dominique was initially welcomed - but confusion, and then anger, quickly set in among The Sims 4's Russian player base.
