:
I do not think that "complainings" caused owi to make AE without Bats…
People disliking the bats was exactly why they were excluded from AE.

And the thought of bats and bees missing in AE probably
never really crossed anyone minds when people played the game for
the first time.
It did mine. Lorne plugged their absense enough times.

I appreciated the bats and bees. They provided extra challenge and helped to populate the levels with life. It let us know Oddworld is a living planet in its own right, not just a wasteland spotted with the occasional predator. Their Earthly design didn't really matter, because they were only a few pixels large. The Wasp design in The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants looked Oddly enough, in any case.
