The amount of posts/comments of people complaining about the creators posting videos/streaming a week early of the release date is just weird to me.
Not only because this is in general standar behaviour of a game release. Every major title is exactly like this, some even let youtubers post way before than just with a week left to the release. But also because this is a way for us as the community to see if our money is actually worth it before actually buying the game, the more information we have ahead of release the better we'll make our decisions (for those who want to see "spoilers" of course), ie: the game could have way less content that it was appeared to be from the FFF, and if that was the case, wouldn't you wanna find out before you buy the game?
And lastly, factorio itself is not a story-driven game at all. When you start a new map, the research tree is already there for you to explore, the game makes no effort in hiding anything, not because they're lazy, but because the core gameplay aspect is not related to unveiling secrets at all.
Now, I get that there are people who wants to discover everything by themselves, and to each their own, be yourself, and that's perfectly fine. What I'm putting in question here is the feeling that some are having that wube did the community wrong by "separating" regular customers from content creators, like the customers are "less worth".
All of this to come back to the question in the title. Since this is extremely normal for 99% of the game releases, why people are disappointed that this happened with factorio?
