I don't think people are so dumb-
that announcing a few details about Cold Iron Studio's Game
before, during or afterwards would confuse anyone as far as
I'm concerned- they had an obvious way to mitigate the A.I/I
Diablo negative reaction, but they didn't elect to go that route.
Holy crap, can you let go of the confusion line? I can't even find the post but from memory it was addressing a
marketing consideration, not that the audience is idiots.
Even so, it was the
least of the points I made.
The fundamental issue here -- which I reiterated above, which you
still ignored to cling to that only point -- is that people were waiting specifically for an Isolation-related "play" release, and their disappointment is in the reality of that offering. Cold Iron's game is unrelated; they would have realised this, gone back to waiting for the
actual Play announcement, and still been disappointed.
And now we get to see if that bares out with the Watch announcement.
(Although, as for people getting confused, Xhan did think that the Alien 4K was the Watch announcement -- so maybe people are that easily confused on the matter?
)
