I had it spoiled for me as well when the game launched. I didn't consume any of the promotional material and didn't see anything about it across my algorithm so fuck me right?

I don't really care that it was spoiled, like you said it's not integral. I do care about the flippant attitude that just because 100 other people knew about it already, that means you should too. Real "crabs in a bucket mentality".

Yeah. It baffles me that some people prefer to make excuses for being inconsiderate, and even suggest that anyone who doesn't like it leave, rather than simply add a spoiler tag.
