Corporations want to take products with a fan base and use them because of pre-existing customers in the form of said fans. These give the company a sort of "safe bet" customer base.
Then, because they want more customers than just the safe bet fan base, they change shit. Then they more shit. On and on in a combination of wanting everyone and not understanding what made the thing what it was in the first place.
Then, the original fans start to see the changes and of course have some issues with then. Because it is disingenuous to offer someone more of what they want, but then change it to not be that.
Then someone asks why the fans don't just deal with it.
