You don't seem to get that point, if not everyone will get the information at the same time (which this system shall ensure) then some have an advantage above others and in a bad case, you as investor can't react fast enough to bad news so that it's not only about "making as much money" but also about "losing not too much". They as public company decided to be a public company who sell shares to investors so that it's obviously the good right of these investors financially involved in this company (or those who want to invest big in them) to hear about it instantly. These investors are after all the people who put their money or if they invest for other people then other peoples money in this company so that there is obviously a system to ensure that these people can get the information in the second it's released.
The system isn't to tell "the investors before the public", nobody complaint that they released the information like they did, they just had to release it also in the ESPI system at the same time and not after they released it somewhere else (no idea how they did it) so that some guys had an advantage above others.
Just look at it like this:
There are 1000 investors (already invested or potential investors, doesn't make a difference) who can all get the same information at the same time ensured with this system. This ensures that nobody has an advantage and that's how it should be. But if you release your information somewhere else before, some of these investors might be lucky to hear about it earlier as the others and those who will hear it later didn't do anything wrong as long as they use the standard system made to let everyone know about it at the same time. That is obviously fucked up because those who heard earlier about it are like "insiders" then (and insider trading is not allowed) even if that was never CD Projekts plan.
