Which is why I'm here responding to you. Contrary to your rant, I DO care about what you think. If I was backpedaling, why would I even be here? Why wouldn't I dismiss this as "crazy Neogaf overreaction!"? It would certainly be easier.
Blaustein was heavily involved w/ the script and plot in SH2 and SH3. The team asked him what themes they could explore and what would be too taboo for an international audience. If there ever was a mythical "team silent" he'd most definitely be in it. I did my due diligence and got his opinion of the changes. Cause the last thing I'd want is for a crazed SH fan to tweet him details of HD Collection (as fans are wont to do) and have him be offended because I screwed something up.
If you hate SH:SM? Hey you got me.
If you think SH
violates series canon and doesn't belong under the SH banner? Blame me all you want.
If don't like BoM, go nuts.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
