Maybe it was all part of their viral marketing strategy? Like Yoshida said, this version was not fully optimized, they didn't feel it was worthy of an official release by them.

Instead they are depending on leaked footage as a way to spread it to the masses. That way maybe expectations will be somewhat tempered (lol) since this leaked un-optimized early build was not officially released by SE and thus will not be confused as an almost complete build (which I'm sure many of the general mass can easily mistaken it for).

Of course I could be entirely wrong, I'm just trying to guess what is going through their minds.
