This might sound like a CRAZY idea, but wouldn't it be in a company's best interests to not fake their audience out by implying something exciting, and then announcing something different and disappointing? Leaving an audience that feels like it's been tricked?

I don't know, maybe that idea just sounds INCOMPREHENSIBLE to everyone but me... I see Japanese game and anime studios doing it all the drat time, so there must be something I'm missing...

No one's probably actually gonna boycott something because of a bait and switch announcement and they generate far more buzz that way

I boycott garbage that way all the time.

I don't care if it makes me a sperg, there are certain things I want and when creators taunt me it does not want to make me give them money :colbert:

There are examples that can apply for videogames, such as the fake depictions of Shulk in Xenoblade X, or Square Enix's various fake-outs on Chrono Trigger sequels.

But, I'll stop here. I'm already the butt of the joke.

No, it would have required Eureka Seven to be good in the first place.
