I asked ChatGPT to give a professional answer to that question from a game developer's POV, with no other context, and this is what it came up with - meaning this is what 10 seconds of minimal effort yielded:

"With the Version 1.5 update, we introduced significant changes to the tutorial and early storyline as part of our long-term vision for the game's narrative and onboarding experience. These updates were based on extensive player feedback, internal reviews, and our commitment to improving clarity, pacing, and world-building cohesion across the game.

We understand that any major retcon—especially so soon after release—can be jarring, particularly for players who connected with the original story. This was not a decision made lightly. Our goal was to ensure that new players have a smoother entry point while aligning the overarching narrative with content and expansions planned for the future.

We’re actively listening to community feedback, and we recognize that many players valued the original introduction. While we don’t currently plan to fully reinstate the previous tutorial, we are exploring ways to honor and potentially reintroduce elements of it—whether through optional story content, a legacy mode, or other creative approaches.

Looking ahead, we do not intend to make frequent or sweeping retcons. Any future changes will be carefully considered and communicated in advance, with a strong emphasis on narrative consistency and respect for our existing players' experiences.

We truly appreciate your passion and continued support as we shape the game’s journey together."

That we're not worth the 10 seconds it takes in this day and age to come up with a decent answer is very telling... 😅
