>>10654865That's kind-of the thing, when you're attached you're attached. Like, if Coco didn't have to retire as Coco and didn't have to rebrand as KSon but did it anyway, how do you think Coco fans would feel? Imagine if Nyanners did a top-to-bottom redesign/rebrand. Think of how Nyanners fans would feel. Now think of how much Silver talks about caring about her community and wanting people to be happy but also getting defensive when she does things that the community outright would prefer she didn't (like the time-change). That's the old rock-and-a-hard-place.
>>10655023I'd call a 2D avatar a massive shift in content; remember, Silver was only able to do that food stream because of the fancy capture she has for her 3D rig. Not saying she won't use it ever again, but even if we're just looking at Silver using 2D when she plays, say, Alien Isolation, we're gonna miss out on her genuine facial expressions. Which is, IMO, enough to call a downgrade.
