That other person is known to be a super fanboi, and known to talk down to others, and known to try to tell others what to do and not do.

A joke in short, not worth reading at all.

I have asked about the Caius Thorn animated portrait a few times already, starting right after they changed it in the so called "beta", those 3 or so weeks right before the rushed release.

I have asked about many other things.
I have seen others ask things.
I have never seen a dev answer anything relevant.
All answers to posts so far were completely irrelevant, and mostly only to completely irrelevant questions or comments also.
A vivid example of this was the console release date, that took them many days and many upset people and posts here on the forums to give even the outlook of an answer, whereas the facts were clear to them even before the first person brought it up.
(I am no console player, and I do not care much for that topic, but it was a good example.)

There seems to be a pretty strict policy of non-interaction on anything relevant,
and this is kind of annoying, maybe I just miss the pre-wow times where you could actually talk to devs.

Maybe the devs themself are annoyed by how they were forced by their publisher into rushing the release of this game,
and are disappointed by the unfinished and mostly broken game they delivered.
(That's just an assumption, idk them and their publishers, it just looks like that is what happened.)

Maybe I am just annoyed by how the devs here try to sit out literally everything.

So excuse me when I "already" resort to sarcasm every now and then.

You, are the incarnation of hypocrisy, of all things despicable that people only dare to do in the anonymity of the internet, and most of all, nothingness, for as much as you crave the attention of others, as unimportant you are.

I will ignore you from here on, and any sane person will do the same,
so spare your "zeal" on me and try to find an actual meaning to your life, you seem to really need it.

BTT!
There still is this valid question, why they had to remove the actually good animated portrait of Caius Thorn,
and replace it with something ...less appealing, less fitting, less well made?!

I see the devs tend to not talk much, staying silent about this and a ton of other questionable game design decisions,
sometimes, things make sense, and if you explain it to people, they might understand and see why it was good, why it was necessary.
Staying silent about something that looks bad, makes it be bad for real.

Why?
