And I'm not blaming Larian for making a change. But I am a bit grumpy that Larian makes this kind of change and then completely refrain from commenting on it. This was supposed to be a 5E experience, not a OneD&D golden shower. If you advertise with hamburgers, and I order a hamburger, then I want a hamburger or I want to be told that I can't have one. What I don't want is someone showing up with avocado on toast and pretending that's what I ordered.

For all we know Larian wasn’t permitted to comment on it because WoTC wants to control how all the news comes out. Then again I’ve been saying the changes were mandated by WoTC ever since I first heard about them.
True, this is possible. Might even be probable, at least until the game is released. But it would seem odd to me that Larian wouldn't even be able to tell why the 5E races are gone in their D&D 5E game even after they've launched the game.
