Mine is the same. I work in software QA for a living so a good bit of these made me laugh out loud while I completed the cheap dungeon. I really enjoyed it, and felt even more of a connection to the dev team because I can relate to these parodies in my real life as well.

That's unfortunate. Given how much of a guarded secret new content tends to be, though, it makes sense. Especially since there's a heavy focus on Live Letters and gaming events to reveal key bits of information - which is in itself a fairly solid marketing trick.
