[QUOTE="atom crash, post: 4045050, member: 22162"] And to expand on what Umbran posted above, in our lives the cheese is being moved on us all the time. (Confound you Umbran for bring "Who Moved My Cheese" into this!) Change is scary for many people, and it can also be irritating to being constantly forced to adapt to different/new situations at work or school. We take comfort in what is familiar and known. Some people may especially enjoy the fact that in their gaming experience, the cheese wasn't moving. But now it is. We'll need to learn a new system -- even if the new system is "better," its different, and there are some who may feel more comfortable playing a system they know than trying to learn a new system, even if it is supposed to be better. And we won't really know for sure if it will be better -- and how much better it may be -- until we try it out. That's enough to frustrate a reasonable person. [/QUOTE]
