People can't be dismissive of the polls just because the responses don't please them. Yes, 500 is a small sample (it might be able to represent 100000 players though, depending on confidence interval and error margin) and I'm all for updates of this poll with larger samples.
But it is the ONLY evidence up to now, and according to this evidence the majority does not like the homebrews and prefers a more faithful adaptation. Another interesting result is that the overwhelming majority also prefers turn-based, which is surprising to me.
These people seem to live under the delusion that if you leave this forum the love is universal and unconditional.
I can get on pretty much any internet board someone could think of, voice my complaints about the game and I can tell you before even doing it that there will be a certain numbers of users willing to agree with me, some of which didn't even think about the issue until it was pointed to them.
There will also be people with other grievances on their own and different priorities.
And then of course there will be a large portion of people that are pretty much "the ground zero of expectations" and that they will always be basically fine with anything that looks sufficiently nice and doesn't explicitly BREAK APART during a gameplay session.
If anyone wants them to be their target audience, be my guest. Just don't be surprised when everyone else will comment that the result blows asses as if blowing ass was no one else's business.
