My Personal Take:

It's become very clear to me that these new characters (Meggy, Saiko, Tari, etc.) aren't going away any time soon, unfortunately for the classic fans (including me to an extent). There's simply been too much time, effort, and attention brought to them that it wouldn't make much sense to shaft them entirely just for the sake of the older fans only. Besides which, if this were to happen, there would be a massive outcry from newer fans, which, like it or not, have become the majority of SMG4's audience. The classic fans are now only a minor part of his total audience, and catering to those people only would simply be a bad idea for SMG4. Let's not forget that he's running a freaking business now, so logically speaking, it wouldn't be very wise of him to remove the new characters. The classic fans will either have to deal with them or stop following SMG4 entirety.
