So defensive
First of all, I didn't make that E3 comment, I simply responded to it, rather tongue in cheek I might add. Second, I'm not criticising Sony (in this instance), they were presented with a great opportunity to put something on stage, and took it. They probably pushed a bit for it to happen, but why wouldn't they...it's good for their business. What I'm criticising is the publishers of the actual games going in for this approach of announcing games way too early time and time again, when we've all seen the negative effects this can have in the long term, as well as the benefits of a properly executed reveal to release marketing window, as with say Fallout 4. The whole point after all, if you're trying to sell a game, is maximize hype, and manage expectations.
Square has been particularly inept in this department for a while, but it's an issue with just about all publishers to some varying degree
