And I'm not saying they should abandon the Warhammer audience, just that that isn't going to sell the game to me. It's going to need to have gameplay that I want to play for me to be interested. It being Warhammer doesn't sway me either way on whether to buy it or not.

I'm not choosing to purposely limit my information sources, I just don't care enough to go and seek it out on platforms that I despise, why would I? That's like saying some 5 star restaurant chucks all their leftovers in the trash so you should try the trash to see if they're good or not. Nah, I don't want trash and who's throwing stuff into that trash isn't going to change my mind on that.

I don't particularly want information from other sources anyway. I'm saying it should be in the announcement. Usually that's when I make my purchase decision, if the devs can't make me want to buy their game with the announcement then I'm probably never going to buy the game. A gameplay trailer, or even just a detailed description of the gameplay could do. And if it's supposed to release this year surely they should have something more than just a cinematic teaser trailer to show off.

And they will be releasing gameplay of the game in the coming weeks/months. They will be showing it off via the 4 venues I had previously mentioned. 

You are. You don't want to use Youtube, which millions upon millions around the world are using. It's the main media site where all trailers and gameplay footage are released and shown on. They use Facebook as well, which is also used by hundreds of millions of people, both casual and dedicated.

Despising the majority of information venues is just your own preference, but in doing so it has drastically limited your sources of information.

The teaser trailer was the announcement though. That was the whole point of "teasing" you, to let you know that it's a new game that actually exists. We've always had teaser trailers for Star Wars, then followed up by full trailers months later down the road. A ton of movies end up doing this, and so do games.

Regardless, they are going to show off gameplay later on. it's up to you to seek it out. They are not going to go well out of their way to choose super minute and obscure sources you like using for information.
