as most companies do this stuff every couple of years anyways to update their products, so it's not like they wouldn't have done something similar soon anyways even if they did keep the character

A complete rename and rebrand is really not all that common. A logo change here or a font change there but generally you don't completely rebrand every couple of years, that's not what a brand is. There is a potential downside to throwing away a brand and completely changing a popular product to something no one has ever seen or heard of, I'm interested to see what they change this to and what the effect on their business will be.

And let's be honest, some people (definitely some here) trying to feign concern as a way mock this change honestly wouldn't have given two shits about it if it weren't for the reason it's being done and they know it. It's just the next notch in the endless "doing it to be woke" shitck that's past worn out into the ground and was never funny anyways.
Since when do brands change their name and logo every few years?
You talking nonsense, bro.

That's basically what a brand is. You don't change that lightly.
