 I really want them to announce DA3 already! 

I seriously cannot wait and I have not heard anything about them being there so I'm guessing they won't be showing anything off?

Nope, there is no way they would know about it before hand.

Indeed. Do people really think that any game company would send out a list of its surprise announcements to websites ahead of time?

Sigh.

I meant that companies which go to places like E3 to make announcements don't send out a list of what those announcements will be to random websites ahead of those announcements.

They will, however, make announcements at something like-- oh, I don't know-- a press conference at a major convention. And maybe put up news about the announcement on their website (and, indeed, any website) after the fact.

Which I didn't think was hard to understand, but evidently some people have trouble with this sort of thing.

I'm not usually the most demanding of fans, but in case no one's noticed, morale's getting pretty low around here. Fans are turning on each other. The reason people misinterpreted you Mr. Gaider, is that people are so eager for news that they're pouncing on every scrap they can and dissecting the crap out of it.

I realize there's probably not much to show yet, and we do want you guys to take your time and make the best product possible - we're just dying for some news. Add to that that we can see from your BSN posts that you guys are getting more and more aggravated with us and it makes for a pretty disheartening situation.

Hey, I get it. You want more information. But if you're camping on the forums hoping we'll announce something before we're ready to, and getting upset when it doesn't come fast enough, you're only creating grief for yourself. If you guys are also going to leap on me saying something as simple as "companies don't send out details of their announcements to websites before they make them" and interpret that as somehow aggressive... well, don't be surprised if I get aggravated and come around less.

There was a time before DAO was properly announced when forumites got short-tempered and demanding, as well. Nothing I can say will convince you guys not to hang around looking for info on something you're obviously really interested in. But the information will come when it comes-- getting short with the developers is not going to make it come faster.

What if we promise to say things like 'Hey that David Gaider is a swell fellow' on these and other forums?  Cause if that would help I can totally do that.

That would not help get you announcements faster, no.

You left out the beginning of you're statement, "Do people really think...?" As if to say "How could people be so stupid?"

Which is why I asked, "Why so snide?" Meaning why are you being so snide to the people in this specific thread who are just expressing their excitement for the DA franchise. Most of which were not making any demands, so don't try to say it's about how we're being so damn demanding and want something from the devs, because that wasn't it. But honestly I didn't think that was hard to understand, but apparently you have trouble with this sort of thing.

But I will drop this now. We all make mistakes, and fortunately I don't have to like you in order to enjoy your writing.

This is an excellent example of why PR people use the blandest, most neutral text possible whenever they address the public.
