I'll grant you that, but even so, Animal Pack + Scenery has been the benchmark assumption for a long time conveniently until everyone was disappointed with what we got.
You can hate to hear it all you like but it's true. At least I'm being consistent with my belief here.
Nah, the benchmark has generally been simply a "bigger" pack that's sold at a higher cost. And obviously, one way people thought this might be implemented (myself included) was a combo of animal + scenery. People have also thought about it being an animal pack with more animals than usual. In fact, I'd argue that this was
more frequently speculated/presumed/discussed...
But this pack isn't bigger; nor is it being sold at a higher cost. If you consider the number of props and do a little math, the fact that we're missing the exhibit animal and got 60+ props in this one? It's about the same size as any other pack in terms of content. In fact, the lack of an exhibit animal and getting 60+ props makes it almost a direct 1:1 in terms of content when you look at it that way.
I'm not saying this
is or
isn't the final pack because I have absolutely no idea. It's entirely possible that this
is the last pack and they've just ended things differently this time around. But I also think it's equally fair and reasonable for people to look at this new pack and say: "This doesn't feel like a final pack. It's not bigger, nor does it cost more like other final packs. Maybe there's more coming?"
Now, if this were the same 7 habitat animals with 200+ scenery items and it was costed at $14.99 or whatever? Then yeah, I'd be with you. But that's not the case. So of
course people are moving the goal post. Because the available evidence has changed. Everything you said about the financial reports and so on still stands.
It's literally just a matter of whether you want to be optimistic or pessimistic about it. And both are equally valid given what we know.
Just now I noticed this screenshot. Is that the hand washing machine? Also that stone fence again. It kind of looks like an actual barrier type in here.

I am curious about the new foliage, so far I havent seen any.
Those are the hand washing machines! There's another screenshot that shows one on its own, though, so they're available as a stand-alone (which is awesome and will be
very useful).
