You are contradicting yourself.
If it's not a big deal then why do you need to hold on to your "hard work"?
Perhaps I did not phrase that correctly.
Stats are not a big deal, but time and effort is a big deal (especially when you have a full-time job and family). Bugged/lost stats are not a big enough deal to justify taking away many people's time and effort.
Why not just let it be optional, so those who are worried about that kind of thing can reset their own stats? It is really unfair to those who have put work into their stats to have them reset just because other people have problems.
No, it's a dumb idea and the 400 people who vote yes in this poll shouldn't speak for the 15k that bought the game. Whatever their number be.
This man actually has a point, regardless of his first post in this thread.
The poll is not official, nor will it ever represent the player base as a whole, and individual can determine that TWI isn't going to take this seriously.
A: 400 people do not speak for tens of thousands.
B: Post-release support is not a democracy, if 400 people ask for driveable trains to be put into the station map, that doesn't make it a good idea or an idea worth working on.
Hopefully all of you concerned will have the option of resetting your own stats, but
please do not try to force your sense of fairness on the thousands of other people who do not want to see the hours they've put into the game go to waste. That is extremely short-sighted and inconsiderate.
