PewDiePie arguing

You make a good point; however, what I'm getting to is it annoys me that this 'snippet' of footage was released so damn soon, why two weeks before release - I can understand the marketing idea behind it - but what I can't understand is why so soon. It would make sense to release this footage at least a day or two before release so you don't have this gap before playing the game for yourself and so there's a chance to experience an encounter on your own.

So yes we have spoilerish content circulating the web two weeks prior to the release date, it doesn't make sense to me at all... All of this silence and all of this hush hush business about the development and then out of no where all of this content before we've had a chance to discover these things for ourselves; it's not a good feeling.

If you put it that way in the terms of "feelings" then nothing I say will likely change your mindset that much, because you're likely upset on a sentimental level.

Just saying that these sort of spoilerly things happen, and they WILL be on internet before you've had a chance to experience it like it, or not. If you're really concerned all I can say is be careful when browsing the web, and be extra-careful since these things seem to now be popping up everywhere. However seeing as you've already accidentally been spoiled..."I'm sorry for you, and be more careful in the future" is really all the comfort I'm able to offer.

Also, seeing near-finished content two weeks prior to release is hardly a strange thing. Many other games do this as well which also very well have the potential to spoil a portion of the game depending on what they show.

Here's a bit of personal experience: Dishonored's E3 Golden Cat walkthroughs. They showed off nearly half of the entire mission in that walkthrough (Which mind you was hardly unchanged from the released game MONTHS before release), and it greatly impacted my initial enjoyment of that level when I played it myself because I watched those walkthroughs tons of times, and knew everything that was coming. So in the future when the DLC extended gameplay footage was released I chose to stay away from them for fear of impacting my initial experience. There are some people who don't mind though, and would love to have a sneak peak at those missions. I don't blame them, and respect their decision.
