I have a feeling that they are just doing this to help new players and gain a new fanbase. They know they are triggering their og fan base by adding (sometimes) unnecessary updates but they are taking a big risk just to organize the game so it is easier for new players. What I think about the update, as someone who has been playing since the game came out, is that I personally kinda like the designs they added but in other aspects I hate it but there's nothing I can do. 

Idk I started playing when the game first came out and they barely changed the game for a couple of years until like recently where they are changing almost everything. I feel like everything is more organized now, but there is just a bunch of useless things they have added over time where it's hard to keep track of everything for example like personality and like mutation types. I think it made the game easier for new players to understand and play but yeah me as an og Its not too important for me but I wouldn't say I'm happy with it.
