They've been horrible about communication since the Twitch ban a month ago. And they didn't even reveal anything about their plans to the press leading up to last night while they were promoting their return.
Just my opinion, but I wonder if the changes were their decision so they could own and monetize their "original" ip.
I'm guessing officially saying it's not a Seinfeld parody due to C&D would've destroyed viewership so they do these changes without hoping anyone would notice.
I watched it every now and then but with everyone saying it's completely different, I have no interest.
That's what makes how the devs are handling this baffling.
