FWIW, I ran a quick search for posts by you that included "sea otter" and came up with this post from you on May 7th in the context of what sort of coastal pack you might want to see: "1-2 mammals, another pinniped and then maybe the sea otter. I would love to have it be made of reptiles, birds, and fish mostly."
Maybe you were just thinking it was more detailed than it was?
I mean, they could have
always done anything. Haha. For me, it's mostly about what feels likely based on demand from the fanbase (because that's what will drive sales). And that's where I jump to the zookeeper pack.
They may also have something wild under their hats that changes everything... But I kinda doubt that.
I also find it interesting that JWE2 ended on a "general" pack and with PlanCo it ended with a very specific (though undeniably popular) theme (Ghostbusters) but the pack
before that one was the Classic Rides Collection that added a lot of highly-requested, more general stuff. So it
almost fits the same pattern/idea just with the more general one coming as second to last.
Hard swings in any direction will undeniably help the game. Especially if it's tied (somehow) into a new feature. But that's the other joy of the zookeeper pack! It would keep the roster focused on demand rather than fitting it all into a single niche.
