More importantly, I've actually worked in games development (For the likes of Bullfrog up until their end in Chertsey) so I've got pretty solid experience of how these things tend to pan out.
I'm not sure I'm the one making this into a life or death problem here sir, nor am I stomping my feet. I'm simply highlighting an issue that's been apparent to me for some time now.
Honestly, it's actually quite impressive how unintelligent someone must be to actually white knight against a suggestion that could only ever improve not only the game, but also the quality of life for it's development team. Yoshida himself has regularly commented about how hard he works and I don't doubt him one bit, I suspect his team also works just as hard behind him. It could be a case of Yoshida stubbornly thinking his Team has it under control. But honestly, it's more likely to be a case of SE's finance department (The beancounters I mentioned) keeping a very tight leash on the game's HR budget, especially with the move to full voice acting.
So yeah, go take your silly white knight nonsense elsewhere. The grownups are trying to talk here.
Thanks <3
