Depends on the lore and what's being gained by changing it vs what's being lost.

Personally whenever I see lore complaints about Fallout they come off as pretty nitpicky to me. But I'm sure if someone made a Mass Effect series that treated "L2" and "L3" as proficiency levels of Biotics rather than technological generations for their implants, I'd be annoyed >_>

Actually mass effect is a good example for it. In me2, they changed the lore for guns to no longer allow players to have infinite ammo. While it's an alteration for lore, they gave a small explanation for it, even if it's kind of weak (even if thermal clips are stronger, there's no reason to completely abandon the old infinite ammo tech). However, it's clearly lore to compliment the gameplay more than it is a simple retcon for the sake of story.

Me3 changes to the reapers is something that ruffles even the most docile mass effect fan though.
