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".
