I'm going to take everything you just said with a mountain of salt seeing as, unless your a dev, you couldn't possibly know how much lore there was to be rewritten. And you could be right there might not have been much but that is a very definitive statement to make with little evidence. Also when has a little thing like minor conflicts between old and new lore every stopped game devs from retconning the past? Not that I think doing it much if any at all of that is a good thing, but it doesn't mean they don't do it.
