(Having a personal investment, and maybe some other things I might not be able to say, I'm still interested, but it had nothing to do with trailers)

I've said it before but I like SE giving players who cant play alpha a tease, but I don't think the trailers in the state they are do much for them in hype if not make a negative hype.

Hence why I said looks like a dev commentary without the dev commentary, which is a pretty boring set up unless you are like us in the forums (even then it still not as cool if it actually had commentary).
Dev commentary requires taking a dev and making him waste his development time to do the commentary, which isn't an elementary or quick thing in order to get professional quality results. Those kind of teases are a simple trickle down to those that wanted to get into the alpha and didn't. They aren't designed to advertise the game to the larger population.

They work well for the purpose they're designed. Those grumbling about them would be malcontent whatever they were fed.

And they would still think they know a thing about marketing. Which they don't, as this thread clearly proves.
