If Oddworld Inhabitants needs funds there are plenty of other ways to make money without altering their game's design. An artist shouldn't change their masterpiece because someone will pay them to. That only shows what little respect they had for their art in the first place. If OWI sees their games as commodities and nothing else, then they aren't deserving of success or our support.
I don't see how any of you can call this no big deal. It is a big deal. Oddworld is CHANGING their game to make a sponsor happy. This demonstrates a lack of respect for their creation and a lack of artistic integrity. Neither is a quality that makes me want to respect them right now.
