What have spoilers got to do with anything? We know they will be in the game if they survived the SM, so a couple of screenshots on board the Normandy (for example) is hardly going to ruin anything, is it. They just want to try and shove the entirely optional, largely unwanted multiplayer down our throats to gain the interest of those who haven't touched the series, and rely on the current fanbase to just wait around like they know we will.

The whole we can't say anything regarding certain characters because it spoils the story excuse is completely lame, with all the info they release about certain events and scenarios in me3, how is saying Miranda will be a fulltime squadmember providing she's alive in your playthrought spoil us anymore than we've already been.
Seriously, cerberus fighting against us, the krogan princess, even the spoilers concerning Aria and Omega in the new comics spoil much more than a simple confirmation one way or the other regarding squadmates.
I've said this before but it smacks to me of exactly the same things they did regarding, Wrex, Ashley and Kaiden when me2 was being released, rather than give out bad news they continually go with the can't spoil the story excuse.
Seeing them do the same thing again leaves me pretty sure it'll be the same outcome, me2 specific characters are being relegated to a smaller role just as certain me1 characters were in me2, but rather than be upfront about it, they'll wait much closer to release.
This would be entirely consistent with their behaviour involving Dragon Age 2. They "forgot" to mention that auto-attack wasn't included in the final version for the console despite having had it confirmed for months. They only "remembered" a few dayes before launch despite knowing it since around two months before it's release.

Well, with MP reviews being somewhat underwhelming, it wouldn't surprise me if PR feels they need to increase the hype in other areas. So we might see a SP info dump before too long.
I am waiting for Bioware to express surprise at this response to the multiplayer. Hell, if they paid me $10 for my opinion I could have told them so and saved them a lot of money.
The multiplayer may or may not fail, but it's certainly not going to be worth the time/effort they have put into it, not when most current fans either don't want it, or don't really care about it.
Whereas releasing information on what most of us care about (the characters) they'd generate hype, which would lead fans to discuss said characters, which would probably lead to non-fans asking who they are talking about. This will mean that the fans spread the word about the series as they are excited about it.
