Personally I don't understand the aversion to trying to understand psychology or behaviour, but then again I don't get why so many people seem resistant to personality psychology like the Big Five.
I'd much rather have a small fanbase who really loved what I made! But I'm also aware that I need to accumulate enough to actually make a living from this. I'm assuming that the number of hardcore fans who'd be completely against any change is very small, while the number of people who've never heard of me who might like this is much larger, so that's what's guiding my decisions about changes (why keep something unchanged if only a tiny number of people would even care?)
