Take C.A. for example. Every other year a new Total War installment comes out. The game is announced half-way through development. New information is fed to the customer in precisely calculated patterns, in order to keep fan interest high at all times.
Now wtf is this? Whoever is in charge of PR should be fired on the spot. Announce the game when you have something to show. My initial interest was through the roof. I bought the original Syndicate for the Commodore Amiga when it was awarded game of the month in my favourite gaming magazine. I still play it today occasionally. This game is god. By now, my interest in Cartel has diminished drastically.
You can judge the cleanliness of a restaurant kitchen based on the bathrooms, they say. I hope you can't judge a game's quality based on its marketing campaign...
