Letter from the Producer LXII

You missed the point entirely.

The point is you're trying to explain someone's "I didn't read!" post with a terrible, nonsensical example.

Guess I'll answer that guy's post to show how silly it is ..

I acknowledge the reasoning behind the choice of what races to add as truthful and legitimate, but I still don't accept it as the right decision. Me: That's opinion. Objectively this gives people who wanted Viera the depiction of Viera that's been in the games and it gives us a beast Race. Going all into either completely screws over the other group. If this truly is the last opportunity they had to add new races then they really just painted themselves into a corner by doing two half-races. Did they expect that people would be satisfied and not ask for the missing half? Me: ... He literally talks about how yes, they expected this out come. They talked/ thought long and hard about this before making the decision. They really ought to have just picked one or the other and saved themselves the headache. They definitely wouldn't be suffering the same criticism they are now if they had. I don't buy the reasoning of "there was a lot of demand for a beast race" either when past polls have shown that a mammalian beast race was by far the -least- popular choice for a new player race option. Me: He clear as day points to player's response to Lupin as the demand for a beast race. Get outta here with your outdated poll from around the time when this game was doing so poorly it was in danger of getting canned. O_o

Yes, I said very few people wanted a beast race. Wanted. Past tense. NOW they do. That's... the whole point of what I was saying in my first post you replied to. They didn't want it before. NOW they do. They have disappointed more people than would have been disappointed had they not created Hrothgar at all. Because now they want it, and they aren't getting it.

Ya see, there's a fundamental problem here. You seem to think "likes" mean something they don't.

let me get this straight, you refuse to accept Yoshi's study on the demand for a beast race in favor of pointing to a 6 year old outdated poll from back when this game was tiny and trying to recover from failure ... right?

BUT you think that the addition of Hrothgar makes people "want" a female beast race because of some "likes", because you think these people intend on playing it when all it takes is some lite reading on either of those threads to realize that people don't actually want to convert to them?

And you also seem confused on how "likes" for Viera can be so out numbered by "likes" for Viera male ...

On a side note this is why I like Reddit.
