I'd never have guessed before this thread!
Edit: And I suppose that means all discussion of whether it was a good or bad decision is really, really silly, since it wasn't their decision at all.
We, the players, generated data.
SE took this data into consideration when making the decision.
SE is responsible for the decision based on this data.Â
SE is also responsible for keeping their business running, and the game in existence.
We, the players, are responsible for the data that influenced the decision.Â
It was their decision.
Based on our data.Â
It was a good decision for SE, because it was good for the business.
It was a good decision for the players, because they got what they wanted -- according to the data!
A minority/minorities did not get what they wanted -- in terms of the aesthetic.Â
There are avenues for them to voice what they want, and perhaps come together to represent this want so that next time around, maybe they can get it!
...there's...nothing really wrong with any of this. The fact that they are actually open to giving the player base what they want instead of shutting up in a room and making the decision without even considering us is AMAZING.
It means, that if YOU HAVE an idea for a race, and several other people share it with you, YOUR VOICES can be heard and influence the content of your product!
Yes! They are responsible for the decision. It's an AWESOME decision because it means that as players we actually have power. Sure, we need to get together and represent, but if we REALLY WANT SOMETHING...we can do it, and GET it.
