The kind companies like EA or Activision do?

    Hell, I thought people hate PR/Corporate talk, or is that just me? Between this and the way the community jumped at him for his opinion on NFT, people just want to nitpick what they don't want to hear. Well, if your goal is to eventually make the communication between the dev and players strictly become a list of bulletin point written in standard PR language with a triple checker from corporate lawyers, I say keep going because the community is doing a fantastic job of making that happens.

Yoshida-san is a fellow player talking to other players about what's coming up next. A little joke here and there doesn't seem out of bounds, considering the comments that likely show up in that ongoing flood.

    They don't have to do all this. They could just have a letter and a slideshow and a very inhuman feel to the whole thing. Is that what you'd like to see? Maybe he should stop chatting with content makers when an expansion is coming up. I imagine the commentary on the forums would be even worse.

    No, don't misunderstand, I do not really mind what Yoshida is saying. I was just replying to the Floortank (before anything, its their actual gamer name) that this is how companies work. And regardless if you "feel" that this is just a "freeform" event or not, it is by an employee, under the logo of the company... so it is going to be considered as official PR to the company.
    When you join a company even if you are a little nobody, you will need to sign an agreement that you will not belittle the company publicly. You may feel that because it is "gaming" it works different but I can 100% assure you that leadership wants to gain sales and profit and anything that will be in the way of this will be harshly treated.

    So again, I have nothing against Yoshi P, I am just saying what the guy was saying was very unrealistic in 2022 with the internet and social media.

    Screw the 2022 internet and social media standard then. It's like saying they're the source of our ill but we have to obligate to it. Just like if someone like the OP wants to make a silly complain, doesn't mean the complain is valid.
