I've supported and played the game for years, I have the old controls engraved into my brain, yet I still learned the new controls within 30 minutes of playing the game and found them a lot more streamlined than the old control scheme. I really think this is a case of "new = scary" for a lot of people, which is fair - I think a toggle between the new and legacy controls or just more customization would be great - but other than that, no idea what all the complaints are on about.

I appreciate that you speak for the majority of people, but it seems like the majority of people tend to disagree. People do not like the controls, as simple as. Being able to switch back and forth would have been a far better solution, I agree, than just throwing this outta nowhere. But all I've seen from you is talking down to people who are offering their criticisms and telling everyone that "so many more" people love the new controls, which is the opposite of what I've seen.

Well, I apologize if I came across that way. That wasn't my intention. I was just expressing my opinion, and echoing the sentiment of very nearly every other person I've actually seen play the game, personally.
According to the stats, the supposedly terrible control scheme hasn't really stopped the game from experiencing one of its largest spikes in activity:
Nor did it stop it from going through one of its larger waves of popularity, neither.
And, of the ones I've watched, I haven't really seen many of them complain, or any of them say that the newer controls are objectively worse than the old ones.
So, aside from the complaint threads on the forums here, usually with repeating names for those threads, I don't really think it's fair or accurate to say "the majority of people dislike it" either.
You're free to disagree with me though, and like I said in my other comments, I think having the option to choose which control scheme you prefer would be ideal, specifically so both parties are satisfied. That being said, if the argument against it boils down to just "I don't like it", then — yeah — I'm going to disagree. I don't mean it to come across as dismissive, but I also don't think there's very many argument to be made other than "I think you're being biased".

Well, yes, this game has a very niche audience that many consider to be one of their faves, me included. I myself saw the update from TomatoGaming and Charborg about the secret update, and I immediately went to download it because it was so out of nowhere. Considering it was a big jump from 0.8.2 to 0.9.0, yeah, I can understand why people were so excited, myself included. I still am very much and enjoy a lot of the other additions, aside from things like the fuses and the ATV battery, but whatever, those are just minor headaches. I agree that my views, and those I've seen from the vast majority, are biased. Yeah, the old controls were ingrained in my head, easy and enjoyable. And your side, as you say, is also biased towards the new control scheme; both are biased. I've learned it already, it's whatever, but I do not consider it to be better still by any means. But I myself and others can say the same thing, where the people we see play think the new controls are a step backwards. That's just unavoidable.

Dude went out of his way to prove that only a minor number of people cared enough about old controls and still getting downvoted
Kids smh
Its like the Minority Screams while the majority is busy having fun to care enough
Lol and the guy above just got curbstomped in argument with facts and logic. Then he goes: -Uh.. Ah Whatever I DOnT LIKE IT. So I just made it all up in my mind that the majority didnt like it.
Not even an apology ,bro? How petty are ya?
SO much for your ''nice guy'' attitude.
