Yeah, who are they to demand AH to change their hard work just for them! They should at least asking for somebody to make a mod instead! Perhaps even post in some sort of modding section!Arctor wrote:Too bad the arachnophobes haven't tried cognitive counseling first, before demanding changes to someone's incredibly hard work and great design.

I've known that arachnophobia is real and there are people that severely affected by this condition, but than again people tend to be exaggerated on the Internet for fun.

Game screenshots with spider and NOPE text are very popular as well.seebs wrote:It's pretty common in the world as a whole -- depending on how severe it needs to be to qualify, estimates from a few percent to 10% or so of the general populace, higher if you include more minor fears.

In a way ,I'd say this is something Almost Human can be proud of; making digital arachnids realistic enough to induce fear on many people.
