Why do the designers owe you an explanation at all?The internet has seriously spoiled us. Because we now can communicate with the designers, we assume that they must, in turn, tell us everything they're doing, and why.Nobody explained each and every change from 1E to 2E, or from 2E to 3E.Nobody explained why some of the changes were made in the remake of the Omen.Nobody explained why the writers chose to advance the backstory with the Time War when they started Dr. Who back up in 2005.Creators create, and if they choose to explain why they're doing what they're doing, that's a bonus. The designers owe us exactly one thing: Their best efforts at a game that'll be worth the money we pay to buy it. Period.They change what they change. I guarantee you they have reasons for those changes. Some may be based on market research. Some may be based on personal taste. Some may be based on earlier playtests that we know nothing about.And they are required to explain none of it. In fact, if some of the changes are based on market research, it's in their best interests not to explain it, lest they give up an advantage to competing companies.Seriously, man, you don't like a lot of what you've heard about 4E, that's entirely your right. But claims that the designers are changing things without reason, or demanding that they make every reason known to us, are both short-sighted and ill-conceived.</blockquote>
