I think the review is a little silly if the changes are drastic but it highlights a bigger issue really.
Why even bother sending the disc to print if there was so much shit that was going to be changed? Your gold master disc is a joke, you can barely call it version 1.00.
It's not an issue if you have constant internet access or whatever but what if, say, you're moving house and it isn't going to be set up for weeks? You've bought a beta.
If something is so significant that it changes the game to the degree that it will impact reviews it should be on the disc that is printed and put on store shelves.
I feel like if this was any other game, most people here would actually call them out on that.
