I worked on big games that got leaked. Companies spend a shitton on marketing with the hope of making a big boom when it’s announced. We’re hoping to see our work revealed in the best way possible. When it leaks, that big announcement possibility is gone, that money is partly wasted, and what’s shown is out of our control.

Game companies are notorious for lying in their announcement trailers. So why should we care about what they want to show?

I mean, if the marketing is lying about the product, it will probably demoralize developers in a similar way and for the same reasons.
