All of the Current & Future customers are asking for the same things and Full Circle is choosing not listen to the feedback.
I expect it’s more of an EA decision than a Full Circle one. EA will have been the decision maker when it comes to making the title F2P and no doubt mandated the art style change evident between the teaser of 2022 and what we’ve received in 2025 as a way of making it mass market (ie. kid-friendly.)
It obviously hasn’t worked out like that and the devs are catching the heat, but the distant hope is that Full Circle, armed with the relentless nature of the feedback, can present it to EA as evidence that a different route should be taken. The concern is that the publisher is more likely to write the project off than finance a costly reinvention, but it remains to be seen.
