I'm sorry what? How about we remove everything that people have a "phobia" for? Then we won't have a game. When I was shared this I was in utter disbelief. I don't have any particular feelings about it being changed, but it being changed due to... this?The original didn't trigger any trypophobia in me, but if it was doing in others then I don't mind the change. I don't have particularly strong feelings about either the old or the new design.
Fun fact, trypophobia isn't universally recognized as a phobia because it elicits a disgust response rather than a fear response, and as a result doesn't tend to impair judgement in the same way that being terrified generally would.

The old icon was making some people feel sick and it wasn't particularly well liked anyway. I don't understand the massive overreaction from some people here.
Yeah, pretty much. Personally, I think it was mostly a PR move more than anything as far as the reasoning goes. Gotta look extra good right now! They've always been very handicap friendly though with this game. Either way I don't see the big deal. Enough people didn't like it and that was probably reason enough to change it. Might as well look good in the process.
