People are rolling their eyes at you because its entirely your own fault for going places where you know spoilers may be floating around.
The worst thing ever!! Where's the discovery? The wonder? The surprise? ALL SPOILED!!!!
I can appreciate that. Studies have shown that knowing spoilers ahead of viewing material doesn't really ruin the experience even in those who do not wish to be spoiled. Sure it may diminish it some, but very few are ever truly spoiled and have the experience ruined for them like many in this thread would have you believe. I am not saying that some people don't have the experience ruined, just that the extent isn't that big. But your last statement is true regardless of your feels on the subject.
Well you know you can get spoiled yet you come in. Can't really complain.
It is. This place is a huge forum where leaks and rumors originate and get posted. If thats something that you want to avoid why are you here? Thats an integral part of what this forum is about, and you know that. So coming here and then getting upset about this message board is doing the very thing this message board does is eye roll worthy.
But I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy E3 shows or be disappointed when there are no surprises. I mean, hell, I'm hoping to be surprised too.
Cant a genuine first reaction come from a leak? Can't people have a genuine first reaction after a leak occurs?
Aren't 3 of the admins of this site 3 of the most well known insiders on Twitter?
As someone who studies narratives at a university level, sure. However, you're pulling a feat over a narrative extremely attached to selling a product. And when we talk about art, we should be talking about the object in itself.
I need you to spoiler tag your spoiler,
And for those that want that experience for themselves can have that experience.
Shouldn't they have that reaction when the game is actually in people's hands?
It's not entitlement if it is the status quo. It's the other side that feels entitled to have it changed.
Then they should go watch reaction videos if they are so invested in emotional reactions. Developers should be way more concerned about peoples reactions to playing a game than whether first impressions are deflated after a leak.
No, I don't. People always knew Kingdom hearts 3 was coming, it didnt change their explosive reactions.
Sure and leaks don't stop that. As seen below

A surprised ruined for fans is the exact reason why devs want a surprise reveal though. Isn't it?
Who are you to get to decide who gets to celebrate their work and when or how they can do so? Why are you the arbiter of what that's worth?
The game is the fucking point, not the ad campaign.
No.
What the fuck are you chatting about? If a game is well received the devs will receive credit for the rest of their lives, just look at Grant Kirkhope's Twitter. Do you think the interaction he has with fans 20 years after one game he worked on released would be different if a trailer leaked a month before Nintendo wanted to show it?
You have that backwards. Coming onto a forum where leaks and rumors are always being posted and being upset that something os spoiled for you, and then expecting the way that forum operates to better accomadate YOUR preferences, is entitlement.
