It just... reeks of bait and condescension. Moreover, it seems like it would exacerbate existing irritations whereby an otherwise good design concept would seem to have been purposely sabotaged in being locked away to awkwardly revitalize something it has no business being locked behind.

However, if that half-measure were sold to me as a part of a larger roadmap, testing to ensure quality before releasing it into a wider game, sure, it would then seem reasonable. But otherwise... it just feels hypocritical.
I agree and personally, I would love to see a full official parser as I think it would give an added challenge and make content more fun. However, if harassment in parties is the big concern for most people, we do have to understand that their concerns are just as valid as ours.

The only way forward would be to find a solution that works for everyone, and although a solo, FATE only parser is not entirely what we want, it is at least a step forward that also takes other peoples concerns into consideration.
