As soon as devs start listening to the community for balance issues, there’s a countdown timer to the game going downhill. Users are idiots, and they can’t actually ever agree on anything either way. Letting a vocal minority guide development is always a terrible idea and has never worked in the history of game dev.
I wil say that the gen 1 slides were clumsy and early units could be broken by forcing them in backwards. It always felt like the part which was the least well designed. I like the new magnetic interface but I agree it's kind of an odd thing to have a minor quality of life update be the top line.

As the movie industry discovered, it's a dice roll in terms of pissing off the censors. Hard to invest millions when something as stupid as a map can get your game banned.
