I am one of the players in this world and have no problems with what the GM has decided to do. It is simply a new adventure for the characters to explore. They have to deal with being normal again for a while and may not like it but life is seldom fair to everyone. Currently I have about seven PC's that I can choose to play in this system and only 2 will be unaffected completely. Besides, it is only a game and you have to be able to expand your imagination to understand new concepts or you just stagnate and creatively.
