Kinda crummy to call normal ass people "minions" just for sharing excitement, but sure I guess. There's no weird conspiracy to these things. Games in development have cycles they go through before launch. When it comes to how they're communicated to the world, they go through lots of steps. This is the first time the game's been shown to media, influencers, etc outside of the studio.

There's a process to these things. Reveal trailer ->behind closed doors sessions->maybe screenshots get shared->there's an agreed upon 'soft embargo' where then people can say "hey I saw this thing! I thought it looked cool" or whatever people feel like saying->full gameplay reveal->previews from those behind closed door sessions come out properly, and so on. TONS of games do this exact same thing. I mean...I know because I work in it too and have been on the developer end lol. It's just done this way because if there isn't some order to these things, then people can just go willy nilly and share anything and information gets mixed up, etc.

I don't know if you peons understand, things aren't just done randomly.
