In my opinion, most polls started by ordinary members on game/sim forums generally perform little useful function. They are frequently badly worded, often exclude options that others would like to see, and tend to attract comment mostly from people who agree with the initial premise. They often do next to nothing to accurately determine the opinions of the broader community.
And in any case, game development isn’t a democracy. If the developers want to ask us a specific question, they can, but otherwise, presenting options as ‘votes’ may give a false impression as to how much significance they are going to have.
