Cory's response is very disingenuous and manipulative, intentionally or not. I get why he feels that way, but it's quite irrelevant to the central topic at hand. Jason's whole point is to say stop treating game announcements and marketing as a part of the experience of a game.
Let me stop you right here, Jason has no right or authority to tell people what they should like or how they should feel when Jason does something that pisses them off.
People like <thing>, Jason spoils <thing>, People are going to express frustration with Jason. That's how humans work, this isn't unique to gamers. Telling them that they shouldn't like <thing> is not a valid argument, it's absurd.
It doesn't matter what <thing> is, it could be a game, or an ad, or a book, or whatever. I also find it incredibly damning that Jason isn't saying not to get hyped for announcements, he's just pointing out that you should get equally excited when HIS corporation gets to announce it, instead of the publisher corporation announcing it. Jason has a financial incentive to leak games, regardless of how gamers, developers, or publishers feel about it.
I want to point out again that i'm a big fan of Jason, his reporting is unrivaled and he's done a ton of good for this industry, but he's way off here.
