[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5757280, member: 8461"] Your complaints can exist, you should just keep them to yourself. :p And as I said in response to that, this isn't about FFG's response to the complainers; it's about the complainers themselves. No one has the right to say how something else should or should not be. You have the right not to buy something; you do not have the right to say how it should or shouldn't be. You can say what you'd prefer, but expecting someone else to change something for you is unforgivably narcissistic. You keep conflating the issue between what FFG releases and how people react to that. I'm talking about the latter, you're discussing the former. The people who are complaining aren't making a statement of marketability - they're saying that because something is offensive to their personal beliefs, it needs to be changed. It's not a question of how well something will be received by the market at large. It's not a question of games or non-gamers. Nobody has the right to expect that that which they don't like should be changed. Your outrage is not a compelling reason to expect others to conform to your beliefs. And the fact that they don't like something isn't a question of whether or not they can justify putting the money down. "Putting the money down" is a question of if it can be afforded, but that's not what they're judging. They're not even judging if they like it or not - they're going one step further by saying that not only do they not like it, but that it needs to be altered so that they will. That's a step too far.
