I honestly don't care if a publisher announces a game several years out. In some cases, such as game franchises, I see it fairly pertinent that they do announce them.
What would be a better trend is the gaming community embracing the practice of foregoing preorders. OR understanding what "buyer beware" means. Never trust a publisher to provide you the game they promise on Day 1. Never.
I think people really just need to vet who they get their games from better. There are quite a few publishers/developers I can absolutely rely on to provide a great product on day 1, and saying never to trust them that puts them in the same category as the shitty ones which is wrong.
Oh, I absolutely agree.
I've been playing games long enough to see so many publishers walk back on promises to the gaming community. Activision, Bethesda, Square, Ubisoft, EA, Capcom...and a lot more. I pre-order games as well, yet I know that if I'm disappointed with the studio then that's my fault. I bought the game...caveat emptor.
Never trusting a studio to fulfill their promises good advice to a gamer. Always understand that the relationship between the gamer and a studio is tenuous. It's only worth the studio's most recent release.
