So housing issues get addressed by Yoshi-P immediately, but Hrothgar...?

it feels like they pushed off actually working on this until the last possible second, and just decided to throw out the same set that viera got and hope players werent too pissed. suffice to say, they vastly underestimated how upset people would get.

I got that impression as well. Them laughing at the reveal was in poor taste and not professional and it made it seem to me that they didn't care. Maybe others felt the same way too; hence the current outrage.

It's too hard to know what was being said on those Niconico chat screens they have to the side, but I am pretty sure the laughing wasn't directly aimed at our dear Hroth friends.

This is true. It's been my feeling too.
