Just to clarify, you're saying I'm the one who brought real life matters into the discussion? You just were talking about real world zoos (criticizing them) and real world water parks (supporting them). Real life matters are, of course, irrelevant, and I don't want this to become a huge debate. I said why I disagreed, and that's all the real life I think will be relevant. Let's drop that part.
Even in the game, assuming Planet Zoo doesn't need to worry about the real world at all, they don't seem like something I would want. I would love seals, sea lions, penguins, tropical fish, and others, but cetaceans are just not something I would enjoy or use. I think many other people would agree. They would need to essentially be built from scratch, and they would need complex diving animations. A lot of work for something many people wouldn't want.
If they made it into a separate game that wouldn't take away work from other DLCs, then I would simply not buy it. I wouldn't be that upset at such a choice, Frontier doing things with a game I don't play.
That is all I have to say. I am sorry you took my comment the wrong way. I really don't want this to escalate. If I wanted to argue with people about real world matters, I could just go over to off-topic.
I guess there was some misunderstanding. Sorry if it was my mistake. The point I want to make is not "I do not support zoos" "I support water parks". I just think there is a very unfair treatment in this regard. because they are constantly comparing it to IRL. I do not find this right. I've put forward a lot of ideas in the past, but people have always acted politically. You may not want it, that's normal, but I'm not talking about that.
Just to clarify, you're saying I'm the one who brought real life matters into the discussion?
No, don't get offended, I say for the people who do this.
and I don't want this to become a huge debate.
Definitely, I try to behave that way too (I argue as little as possible), because it's really ridiculous to really make this topic such a big discussion, especially for a game.
Have we seen the Frontier doing a bad job so far?

This is a really difficult issue. So why? I've said it many times before. I'm always positive to the idea of a separate game, but I thought dozens of times that it would cause a lot of problems with animal choices. sea lions are animals that fit both themes. Wouldn't it be disappointing if this was just a game? Also, a separate game that focuses entirely on water parks / aquariums can lead to the perception that the opposite is supporting aquariums and water parks. So there are certain reasons why we want it as DLC in this game.
The turtle, the penguin, the sea lion ... these are the animals I want to see in the PZ, but what if these animals are added to the PZ and there is a separate game for aquariums in the future? animal selections will interfere. This is one of the biggest reasons why we want it as DLC. At the same time, almost everyone wants this, there are people who want to have both land animals and aquatic animals in their zoo. For example, while I want to have elephants, I also want to have Orca.
I also made the following advice. I don't know if this system is possible right now, but a system that can combine two separate games, it would be really cool if this was possible for Planet Zoo and Planet Aquarium. So people can only play PZ or only PA, but if they have both games at the same time, a system where these two games can be combined would be great. In this way, the animal list would have increased.
They would need to essentially be built from scratch, and they would need complex diving animations. A lot of work for something many people wouldn't want.
yes i agree, this is really hard work. For example, I also made a suggestion regarding this. I told the Frontier team that people who want more land animals should not have to wait, so they should have a separate team for marine animals. Because there is only one team working with DLCs, it would be a really long process. So I suggested a tactic where Frontiere marine animals would not affect the development time of other DLCs. A "completely separate" team for marine animals. In this way, both land animals' DLCs will not be delayed and people will not be disappointed.
I really don't want this to escalate.
Absolutely. Every time I see that we come to terms with the people I argue with, I am very happy.
