Bethesda’s Decision to Keep the Doom 4 Demo Under Wraps is a Stroke of Genius

Warp Zoned writes:

"So you can imagine my frustration at Bethesda for keeping the Doom 4 demo video offline as an exclusive treat for QuakeCon attendees. Apparently, Bethesda and id Software went to great lengths to ensure that the video wasn’t leaked onto YouTube because the game is still in a very early state, going so far as to confiscate phones and cameras from con-goers.

But after reading (and re-reading) the eyewitness accounts by those who were there, I’ve come to admire id Software’s commitment to their fans that could make the journey to Dallas, especially in light of the way other companies act towards their fans at these events. Their exclusive presentations should be applauded, not pilloried."

For whom? "hardcore" gamers who hang on announcements of announcements, of announcements?

Wish people would either get through their heads that this is a post Aliens: Colonial Marines gaming world and that pre-hype such as this should only be spat upon. Declare that the majority are no longer sheep.

I really wish that.
