Same communication & speculation mistakes?

[Punainen]

So all this gameplay presentations and new art designs and Yoshi being interviewed by many gaming sites etc, isn't promoting?

Like what do you guys want? a commercial that plays a million times a day?? Clearly SE knows what they are doing.. they made a big mistake with initial launch but I am sure they know where they stand this time around..

I just want something where I don't have to get it through third party sources. All the information they're giving out is to people have have money and time enough to attend conventions (in other countries even), and as for the rest of us, they're hush-hush and only let us find out what attendees happen to record and give to the rest of us.

If it wasn't for shaky cellphone (most likely) cameras we wouldn't know about the video presentation.
If it wasn't for some guy playing around the website we wouldn't know about Summoner and Arcanist.
Then there's the beta sign up thing, some people are saying that they signed up on the EU conventions, yet SE (as far as I can remember) hasn't said anything about it.

And of course, this is only the start of their big "flood" of information, who knows what other crazy decisions will SE take.

If you are a fan of FF or any Square Enix game this should not be something you are unfamiliar with. Square are the worst for it but it is an industry wide problem. Developers fear us, we can be the harshest of critics. The internet is full of haters and trolls and those people always shout the loudest. I'll leave this article here which I think is very relevant to this. I know it's from Kotaku but trust me for once this is an excellent read.

I'm confused. Kotaku is part of the whole "OMG ENTITLED GAMERS ARE RUINING THE INDUSTRY" group, yet they're publishing an article that's asking for *more* than what the game companies are giving us? I tend to avoid giving them clicks but lol at that post.
