Sad but true. They announce the "remake" 10 years ago and nothing has happened. On the other hand Fate has gotten 2 new video games, 5 new anime and a phone game.
Now even fate extra is getting remake. For Tsukimhime? Crickets. Not even a collab event in FGO.
Anyone as disappointed as I am?
Disappointment implies expectations.

In that case, I'll have to wholeheartedly agree. Type-Moon indeed doesn't care about Tsukimhime.
Tsukihime fans been taking the L since 2004
The sane ones lost hope a looooong time ago. Now it's just a little funny.
they will announce its cancellation in the next stream

Your not a TYPE MOON fan if you don't even own a TM Merch or haven't fapped to a TM character.
Why do you care so much about Tsukihime?
Spoiler:
Oh I don't know...Maybe because they like it?
On one hand, you don't get anything from a series you enjoy...at least for a while. On the other hand, you don't get to see it balloon into a giant abomination of a cash cow, to the point where it no longer resembles the elements that you loved from the original work.
Do they though? I just don't get the overeaction over it.
Spoiler:
Are you suspecting some kind of conspiracy where we are all just lying about liking tsukihime?
I've posted it before, and I'll post it again.
So I don't know what to think is the thing. Are people being sincere about liking it? People might say they like the game, but they don't make a case for it, in fact they just seem to make cases against it.

Spoiler:
Do you think the answer to your question has changed since then?
A protagonist doesn't have to be likeable for a story to be good.
inb4 someone points to FSN
I'll try to answer this, just because I can kinda see where you're coming from.
So first I'll just say that for the most part, opinions circling within a big group of people should really not be taken at face value. It becomes an echo chamber of the worst opinions, and makes it seem like that vocal minority represents an actual majority (prime example is the entire internet seemingly hating and boycotting The Last of Us 2, and lo and behold, it's like the 3rd best selling game this year or whatever). And this forum, as much as I like it, is far from an exception. A lot of opinions that get thrown around here by a lot of people are very consistently negative, even towards old TM stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if some people who look here just think that everyone here hate everything about TM, both old and new.
As for Tsukihime and Tohno, I can only give my own opinion here, but that is that he mostly remains interesting to follow throughout the story because he's a straight up basket case. He's murderous, psychotic, and attempts rape several times through the story, so obviously he's pretty fucked up. He's also a massive idiot, to be honest, and if people think Shirou is sexist in Fate, then boy do I have a contender for you. So yeah, I wouldn't say he's a likable character in that sense, but he's still interesting to follow. On top of that, he's also far from the only character in the VN. In fact, in general I'd say Tsukihime shines in (and is mainly praised for) its extremely well-written cast. While, again in my opinion, the story itself has some pacing issues and the writing kinda falls flat several times, characterization stays on point, and basically acts as a highlight throughout the entire thing. So yeah, there are both good and bad things, who would have thought, but people are always more inclined to talk about the negatives of something.
However, like I said I do kinda understand where you're coming from with questioning the legitimacy of people's apparent worship of Tsukihime. It's something I've also noticed recently (read: the last few years maybe), especially with the rise of FGO. The bigger the Fate side of TM gets, the louder the people who don't like it need to scream to make it clear that they're not happy with this, and as such it has just become "trendy" to hate on anything Fate or related to it. As a result, it also becomes "cool" to (only) like Tsukihime more than anything, alongside stuff like Melty Blood and Mahoyo (in fact, you'd be surprised how many people praise mahoyo as the greatest thing to ever exist, without even having read it).
That's not to say that (most) people don't actually like Tsuki or actually do want the remake to be a genuine thing, but I think it's very much the reason why it appears like everyone is screaming about it and why it feels like anywhere you go now that's not specifically focused on Fate, you'll always just have to deal with people absolutely shitting on anything that's not Tsukihime which is the greatest piece of writing to ever exist.
In fact here's also a more ranty version but with with more passive aggressiveness of this same thing when I talked about it like a month ago, though with some omissions:
Spoiler:
Like show me a single person outside of this forum who has actually hated on tsuki the same way everything else gets hated on, because I've never seen anything close to it. Even KnK catches a lot of flack because "u need budhism phd lol", but Tsuki effectively remains untouched as the holy grail of TM.

Shit, busted.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
To be fair, how is it an over reaction when Tsukihime fans got nothing for over a decade while FSN fans have something almost every year? lol
Also it's a TM board, not a dedicated Fate board, it would make sense that a lot would want more TM material especially outside of just Fate

Tsukihime fans have been dead, in hibernation and/or in denial for the past five years at least, this board has become a fate board in all but name.
Which is not to say that such fans as still exist are not justified in wanting more Tsukihime, just that actually seeing that sentiment expressed is rarer than a snowball in May nowadays, so Laserman's reaction is not unwarranted.

I can understand the popularity for fate but yea I dunno, going by this thread and looking in the general section of this forum and what not, there's still fans of TM other works and in the TM subreddit too.
I even posted how the subreddit on how they felt about fate popularity and a lot responded being fans of other TM works besides fate

It's the same reaction that fans typically have when a new/remade title of an old and beloved series gets announced early and is constantly being delayed or pushed back. See FFXV, KH3 and FF7 Remake for reference.
