. With our latest updates, we have modified the part of the product in which our users have invested a lot of time, energy, emotions.
. We did not properly distribute the release dates and put too many releases in a short span of time. Thus, it attracted too much user attention.
. We did not care about explaining the significance of the upcoming updates, which caused users’ anger.
If we are forced to make a series of updates, we can provide users with an option to choose a convenient time for applying them (Similar to Windows updates). The options in their turn should be within the framework of our business needs (, ).
If we can’t provide options, at least we have to publicly apologize for the inconvenience and let the time heal everything ().
