You've said this before and I was confused by it then.
Who's hoops are you jumping through here? And which SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS? This is such a small, niche community. And these forums are mostly dead; you don't see many requests (not counting the Wish List ideas that are mostly already in game because players can't be bothered to play)
This is also not the first time you dropped this "you guys ask for too much" line on us, yet I never see anyone really rallying for anything, and I also haven't seen much implemented that is suggested.
I get it, you added some Leo's like eight years ago that were asked for by the community and then got upset when you were criticized for the end result. I don't know a single person that plays SB that doesn't appreciate them, so maybe it's time to move on from that?
That's the business that you're in. I don't know how any of this is our/PE player problems. There's also no one here badgering you about the PE version, regarding releases and patches. I think most old hands know how this works; we all know that there's a new version being worked on and we'll see it at some point in a few years. No one here badgers you about the PRO version either. We all know better not to ask those questions. So I'm not sure why this comment is even directed at me.
How would I know anything about eSim? I don't ask questions about anything and you don't share, so how would I know anything about your business? My perception is that PE players have no right to ask for any features, ever, because its a huge hinderance to make you 'jump through hoops'. You said it.
