I have abandoned many intellectual properties on a principle many times. If it is very easy to replace long standing characters and stories, there is very little reason for me to believe that they won’t do it again. Why invest on stories that can be abandoned?
You don’t know me. And it is silly you think you can encapsulate a group of people without actually creating a case study.
Maybe you have a weak resolve when it comes to commitment to your word, but that isn’t me.
