Fair enough. I do think it is a super interesting question of how to discuss things on the internet with spoilers in mind. Specially on an enthusiast forum of people seeking information.
I feel like there should be a spoiler forum where anything goes. No spoiler tags ever, everyone going full tilt any thread any subject any time lol.
Only if I get an option to have every thread on this site bleeped out until I go in and start reading!
Hate it when OPs spoil what the discussion is going to be about by putting a thread title.

oh my goooooooood I was spoiled about my video game advertising by this thread titled that something leaked about the very thing I wanted to see later today
aaaahhhhh the abject hooooorrrrrooooorrrrr.
Even if the thread title was more in your face previously this is still ridiculous.

Get fucked
I know you're trying (and not succeeding) to be funny, but it's actually very easy to make an informative topic title without spoiling things. If you look on this forum you'll even see topics that have spoiler warnings in the title, yet you know what the topic is about.
I don't really get the second pic, are gonna get botw2 news?

JFC lock this thread and start a new one. People are trolling being like "event spoilers are a thing now?" They've been a thing for years now. This is literally your first leak for an event within 24 hours if you've never seen these complaints. Your comments making fun of people acting spoiled are not new and are active derailment. There are more people complaining about the complainers at this point. Saying this as someone who clicked the thread after the title change.
I can't believe they're reporting on commericials. It really is weird to have these takes when you make money from reporting on these things like this (albeit sometimes not necessarily directly). It's obvious why companies have these events without revealing their years of potential plans like the Capcom data breach did. The surprise give people excitement and "hype". Is that probably manipulative marketing? Sure, but it still gives people momentary joy over such things. Some people probably never buy a game in any of these shows but still enjoy the event. Otherwise, they should just be giving their spreadsheets of plans for the next few years, which I'm sure some people would also enjoy but they don't do that for obvious reasons.

It's hard to draw a line on what to consider being a spoiler or not.
Like, having a rating for a game such as Castlevania Advance Collection "could" be considered as a spoiler for some people but it seems like no one really cared since it's not exactly a big announcement? I don't know.
Fair enough, the wait is killing me to the point I was being unfair to Kirby. I hear he's diligent at doing his taxes.
Apparently Castlevania fans are on the absolute lowest tier. And or we truly expect absolutely nothing from Konami
If it's a proper 3D Kirby they might definitely be ending on it
Me too. I was expecting the donkey Kong game to be the big reveal and I hate DK
You could at least buy me dinner first.
Kinda the same honestly. I was kinda looking forward to it, but I didn't really expect much from it and so wasn't you know, particularly excited.
Now I'm very much like "SHOW ME THE KIRBY."
As someone who actively looks for leaks because I couldn't care less about being spoiled about Directs, I'm still pretty disappointed by the lack of empathy for your fellow posters here who do get enjoyment out of the event.
I mean, even if you think it's stupid, why does there need to be almost antagonistic trolling and demeaning of those who care about it? Just try to be good to your fellow people and afford them the respect you'd like for your own hobbies others might deem "silly".

They are doing this always. They say they will focus on games releasing soon but they will show 1-2 games that are further away.
I think they even had some Wii U games in a 3DS focused direct, or it was 3DS games in a Wii U focused one. ^^
i am not mentally prepared for the enigma that is kirby before 3PM pacific/6PM eastern, nintendo should have been more considerate of my needs
how the fuck does kirby work? it it a black hole surrounded by flesh? how does he not suck himself in? it is too early in the day to consider this (i.e. i am not drunk yet)

I think old things also just generally produce less energy than new things
it's more of an "oh good, finally" announcement
At some point the song and dance must end. The very nature of the internet means that speech will spread regardless of whether or not you want it to or not. If the direct was truly that important to you then you shouldn't be on a video game fourm hours before it's reveal. I can understand getting angry a few months out but this right here is primo time for leaks and spoilers.
It's not like the entire direct got leaked. If something like that happened I bet even the people saying "it's just an ad" would be like ok this sucks but it's just a singular game on a site
Passion should come with a grain of restraint.
Knowing what commercials you're going to see before you see them isn't a "spoiler" and if someone is THAT concerned with it being a "spoiler" then it's on them to take the necessary precautions to avoid them.
In any case, we just disagree, but I hope you enjoy the Direct. Have a good one.
If all the games that are set to release in 2022, inclusing this list, all hit next year.
It will be the greatest year in gaming ever.

Agreed, if people really want to remain spoiler-free, take the bullet and stay offline instead of putting the responsibility on others not to spoil it for you.
My main point was that there seems to be quite a bit of mocking and antagonistic tone toward those who got burned by this (see all the boohoo your marketing event got spoiled comments). I mean, regardless of what you think about it, you have a choice to be empathetic of what happened or you can be a jerk. Some people chose the latter and it's kinda disappointing to me given we're all part of an easily-mockable hobby area.
Would be cool if this is the start of a Nintendo Game Universe and all their IPs are connected outside of Smash Bros lol
me neither haha, but I do understand why for most people, they want to go all in without any surprises. I've done that for some Sony conferences in the past back when they had E3's.
Yup. If the stars align every platform is getting some awesome games next year.
