Developer lack of communication

This thread is entirely nonsensical.

So many other games would just give you a CGI trailer, maybe some in-game footage and that would be it.

And a few of those games get sued or get tons of bad media coverage. Alien Colonial Marines was one in particular that got sued because what they showed off wasn't anything in the game, both the recent Call of Duty and Battlefield 1 had some scrutiny, though BF1 sold well there was still people mad at the fact nothing in the trailer was game footage. Halo 5 was another one, showing constant trailers of Master Chief and Locke doing battle, but they never fight except I've brief moment toward the end of the game. Want other ones? The Division, Watch Dogs, and Ghost Recon, coincidentally all big Ubisoft games have had tons of backlash for showing off different builds of games or not using any footage at all.

You can't blame people for getting sick of game development companies doing this, it's not ok for a company to show you a game engine trailer and then the entire game isn't even close to that level. If many other types of professionals from doctors to mechanics, sold people on false pretenses, everyone would be up in arms. So why do game devs get a pass?
