I remember hearing about the current-gen upgrade a long time ago. Why is this a surprise?

it was announced quite literally 2 years ago. that is plenty of time to get ready for

My understanding is, they didn't know what to get ready for. It's like somebody saying "I'm going to change the game a lot, watch out!" So what do you do then? Sit around and not develop anything for 2 years because it might be based on code that will change?

I have no idea how modding works, but how would they get ready for a patch without having the files in advance?
