Yes, it does feel like the rug is being pulled from under one's feet.

It isn't exactly a secret that I hate virtually all of the recent changes and feel the game was in a far better state during EA than it is now.
To be blunt had I expected this ... mess (sorry, that's the way I see it), I most likely wouldn't have gotten the game at all.

It seems for all their inclusivity they forgot to include a good chunk of people who supported them over the 3 years.

Yes, I'm bitter. I'm bitter because I was looking forward to play BG 3, to play a (mostly) 5E D&D game and now I get to play... what exactly? D:OS 2.5? At last to me it feels that way.
