Farewell young Prince into the night

From "Julius Borisov", one of the Beamdog employees, in a Steam forum response to one of a plethora of the inane bugs introduced with the latest stable patch 1.79:
"Hi there! We're small team, trying our best and working as hard as we can. In 2018 during a livestream we said the NWN:EE project will take 3 years. Yes, the models haven't arrived yet. But we've been working on the new renderer for more than a year already. It's still not finished. We need to finish it to substantially improve the game's stability and performance.
During 2019, we released a few beta builds, tested things, including the 64bit support. Now the game is updated, it's now 64bit, so it can work on Catalina."
This 1.79 patch, which took a little over a year to release (seriously?), has some glaring problems which can be found within minutes of opening the client. One of the most infuriating for me is that all the menu buttons must now be clicked on PRECISELY near the top part of the button (not in the middle like a normal, functioning button) due to some issue with fullscreen mode being disabled and hidden by default. Not to mention a few reproduceable crashes I found almost immediately. And, naturally, the performance is still clearly inferior when compared to the original product.
TL,DR: "We're a tiny team; give us time. BTW, we removed all the original incarnations of the classic games we enhanced and bundled them with our new versions, so please buy the digital deluxe edition of a bastardized, buggy remake of a 15+ year old game for the low price of $63.79."
