They release a preliminary feature list to this little community, and a couple hours later it's plastered on the front page of Blue's News and everywhere else as promised features. Unless you're sure you can pull them all off and that they'll be fun additions to the game, that's a bad idea.

With all due respect the game has next to no media coverage whatsover on any major websites.Most small games developers and publishers have no issues talking about design way in advance because most adults do not react that way you suggest.

Yeah right.....

For a good current example of adults behaving as 2 year olds, read what's being posted about Disney buying out Lucas Films, LTD. Real adult reactions there.

Sorry, but I've experienced too much of the Internet to believe that adults won't throw a tantrum when they don't get what they think they should have, it happens far too often.

Gaming press releases which give people information but don't tie you to any specifics are pretty easy to write - see every game press release ever.

I really do not want to hunt for it: are they really being rude to Lucas or Disney or both?

But child like online crusades are not really a detriment to profit.
Anti EA, or anti Call of Duty or anti whatever in the games community doesn't seem to stop any of them making huge amounts of money. Little uproars happen all the time but when you are dealing with tons of faceless and a broad age range it's expected and can barely be considered something to be concerned about.
Let the unreasonable and vocal people clouded by emotion rant on forums if they don't get what they want, I don't see how that is reasonable grounds to deprive everyone of something quite simple that can be easily appended with a caveat.
