Pre-orderers sacrificed to Unholy Bug God?

If you'll remember, I withdrew my intention to pre-order on account of dishonorable pricing changes (a textbook case of Electronic Artsing). However, I have reserved total judgement of the game and developers despite this uncouth act. After perusing the forums recently, I am inclined to believe the notion I mentioned in the title, but I would like clarification from those who know better than I.

Were the pre-orderers unwittingly sacrificed to the Unholy Bug God? It seems clear that this is what happened, and the reasons are not hard to comprehend, if this was indeed the case. If there is a more plausible explanation, please give me some information in this vein.

Regardless of whether or not the pre-orderers were sacrificed to the Unholy Bug God, I am wondering whether or not Overhaul will take the time and money necessary to overhaul the massive amount of introduced bugs and truly enhance Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. What do you think? It would be a dog gone shame if they switched gears and went from somehow hurriedly making one decade old game worse to making the sequel worse as well while managing to alienate all but the most devoted fanboys before finally laying off their staff and declaring bankrupty in a wondrous but brisk flash of ineptitude.
