"Oh NO! Not everyone in the universe will greet my creation with gooey admiration approaching rabid fangirl levels! SCRAP IT!!!"
This is precisely why the turn of events involving Mass Effect 3 sets a terrible precedent. (For those who don't follow gaming, the creators of this title relented after public outcry that the ending of said game wasn't to their liking. They will release additional material to appease those who created and perpetuated the uproar.)
Here's a synopsis of a li'l story by some old dude named Aesop:
Son rides donkey, father walks.
People get angry; tell son he is lazy and should let his father ride.
Father rides, son walks.
People get angry; tell father he shouldn't make his son walk.
Father and son ride.
People get angry; tell father and son they are overburdening donkey.
Father and son tie donkey's legs to pole and carry it - much to the amusement of onlookers.
Donkey manages to free one leg from pole, kicks son who drops pole, donkey falls off bridge, still bound by three legs, and drowns in water below.
“That will teach you,” said an old man who had followed them:
“PLEASE ALL, AND YOU WILL PLEASE NONE.”
