4. He who begins arguing the provable superiority of a particular flavor of ice cream is very unlikely to cease trying to prove the superiority of said flavor.

That said, it's a preference, but it's also one which influences a lot of other factors in a game's design. Hiver did a decent enough job of going over how the initial decision to "go pistachio" has had effects on other game design decisions within D:OS. Changing the flavor now would mean the extra developer work of redesigning those affected systems, and thus it isn't likely to happen at this point. Game's already released, after all.

There's about zero chance of Lockey getting what the specific thing he wants from this game. He should realize this and stop beating his head against a wall. However, if you're a game developer, you should probably realize there's an audience for people like Lockey (I doubt he's the only one who thinks the way he does) and consider making a different game to appeal to them, something that's a little similar to D:OS but has some important differences as well. There's a market out there for the chocolate ice cream lovers too, after all.

Just, um, we're doing the pistachio thing here, Lockey. We're going to keep doing it. You're not wrong, per se, but it doesn't matter because we're not changing. No offense, hope you can understand.

@Fellgnome: He actually had some good points, in his own way; I reference them above. He's not stupid and he's not a troll, he's just very, very arrogant. I don't have a problem dealing with some bad attitude if there's some degree of intelligence behind it; your opinion may differ.
