I have a hard time accepting the way social media works. The whole chain of logic you just spelled out makes me want to vomit. I don't want to have my strings pulled, my chain yanked, or my goose got. I want to be talked to like I'm a person, and I know it's just going to keep happening less and less and one day it's going to do my head in.
It's not for "normal" people, it's for die-hard fans in their community, a little brain teaser / clue hunt. For the rest of us, there'll be a proper announcement and a trailer.
Different things for different people.
That's pretty dramatic
Is it such a failing? I hope I haven't upset anybody.
Then don't engage with it lol? You are free to wait for proper official announcement or confirmation of the game instead of being here discussing a cake picture
It's marketing, and they do it because it works.
