Okay lemme preface by saying: I voted YES and - I use 4:3 monitors almost exclusively.
A lot of people are arguing about this having no negative impact or handicap for 4:3 users, but that's blatantly false.
Yes you see the same total number of tiles- great.
The issue is the blackspace. Where previously 4:3 format screens were neatly divided into Game section and Text section, now there's necessarilly going to be a block of black space, so unless you've got some ridiculously high resolution 4:3 , you're losing some detail and straining your eyes just a tad more.
Rather than the previous system whrere everyone displayed 4:3 and the 16:9 folks just used up the extra space with black, now you're pushing a 16:9 aspect into a 4:3, and therefore shrinking the relative size of each pixel to fit the format.
At the same monitor DPI, 4:3 is losing out.
Still doesn't mean that the minority should hold back the majority, but don't claim it's gonna have no effect. I'm personally going to hate every second of it.
