I think all the feedback they listen to is game data they collect, within their staff and probably corporate. That's it. And maybe big name influencers/streamers that market their game.

It's been quite a trip to just watch Yoshi P be like:

Also Yoshi P: Simplifies job design and engagement even more for Dawntrail. Imma double down on keeping the 2 min meta.
