Because got to a point where fans actually dissected the game assets and realized "Oh, okay, this could be a limitation for them". And they didn't say that, they just handwaved it.

    The disrespect went both ways. Saying "it's too hard" is a non-answer; when amateurs can do the job in a singular night, it can't be ignored. What Hrothgars have already come out and asked for is for there to be a proper answer. And while we know it won't satisfy everyone, because someone will always have an immature reaction and claim they WANT IT NOOOOOWWWW, them explaining what the limitations actually are goes way further than just "it's too hard, didn't do it".

    This is the issue with people who talk about the situation: they don't know about what happened.
    And reducing the situation to "people who kick and scream and reach assumptions" shows a lack of understanding of the situation.
    Please inform yourself.

    Otherwise? You're right, and it's something people need to understand. We were told "No more new races". But then people asked a lot for Viera, and took the chance to also make Hrothgar of their own volition. Then they said "No headgear at all", but someone went and changed it. Then it was "no Male viera", and that was changed. Then it was "no hairstyles", and you saw what happened. But this leads into one other thing:

    If they want to work off of feedback, then results don't show. They're working off of fan demand. Fan outcry for stuff. Not really working out of feedback. Just look what I said about limitations; now it's up to them to overcome those limits. And they can't keep adding stuff just because people ask without looking into what's feasible and what isn't. If he's going to say "No", then they should at least say why and in what way. Because otherwise, this ends up being a weird loop.

    And those are expectations that just run rampant because they hear "we want X" and blindly add in X.

    We're due Female Hrothgar at some point, and just merely asking for it blindly won't give anyone a good time. Especially not after April 1st. Because they're listening to demand, while fans likely have some expectations that need tempering.

    "This alone requires a massive commitment of resources" isn't really a good answer either. EVERYTHING takes up resources, and a lot of things in the game take about as much as a Race can. This game is developped with phases in mind (Yoshida uses the correct term in his interview about why 1.0 failed, but I forgot which it was...). But the process they're using plans things well in advance. And by that time, you DO have to know how much time and resources you're going to need. It's planned before anything is even done, before anyone even sits at their desks and starts. And then it comes in phases. And that's where they assess the limitations. And from that came in the assumptions.
