It's just people trying to THINK with their FEELS, and it happens everywhere.
It's also childish.
Children have little context. My daughter wants to stay up late Halloween night, party, and skip school the next day. She has no background knowledge or experience with proper sleep, normal bedtimes, or consistent schooling. All she has is adults' claims.
These reviewers and change advocates lack sufficient context; there are LEGIONS of games built specifically for them at great effort, and changing our game would harm others. But it'll be years before they obtain that context.
And by that time there'll be another crop of crotch dumplings clamoring for whatever is in their mom's hands at that moment.
