Possible Ideas to Address Hrothgar/Viera Hat Disparity?

[Jojoya]

Stop pretending like SE is a meager indie game developer.

Stop acting like any game developer is capable of doing anything you demand.

Stop referring to giving PAYING customers what they want as "pandering" as if that's a bad thing.

Except that's exactly what it is. Companies specialize in the product they want to be making. Changing the product to pacify a very vocal few is in fact pandering.

This isn't a charity, it's a game for profit, if they want to continue to profit, they will meet their customer's demands.

They've been profiting all along without meeting your, or anyone else's, demands. They don't need to meet your demands to continue to profit.

Businesses that spend too much time meeting "demands" tend to quickly go out of business because those who make the demands rarely know what it is that made the product successful in the first place.

SE would have been far better off never adding Viera and Hrothgar because then time wouldn't be getting wasted reacting to your demands.

Grow up.

Hope you were looking at yourself in the mirror when you wrote that.
