It would IMO do the opposite, if we tried to appease everyone, it would perversely invite more complaints because then we’ve demonstrated that complaining _works_. I don’t add features to the game because people complain. I add features to the game because someone has convinced me that it’s a good idea to have it in the game.

I completely disagree with this, I’m making the best version of the game I can, and that includes _enabling_ people to adjust and extend the game, but I’m not chasing popularity, that’s an amazingly effective way to ruin your game.

Feel free to publish an endless series of mods to try to make them all happy then.
