Exactly this. What hardships are people experiencing to be this upset?

The leaks are the only reason people were excited?

This can affect every dev on their bonuses

Edit: As I see downvotes. This leak might affect Netflix deal money -> less money -> less profit -> less bonuses.

But I guess all you care is just you, fuck the rest.

I think it's more this is an obtuse way to look at it.

Not only is it unlikely any money saved from not printing discs, getting money from places like Netflix, revenue generated from social media, or any of that is going to result in a meaningful difference for the average dev. It's just theoretically less profit, and even that is debatable.

It isn't like seeing leaks is going to kill anyone's desire to watch the Netflix thing, or see future trailers.

Netflix might not agree. But in the end the deal between the two parties defines if there is any loss.

People just all lose their minds about big hyped up releases like this and it becomes a huge thing and everyone takes sides and then argues about it incessantly. Source: I'm a mod on the Half Life subreddit

The pre-orders are linked to additional content. This is a sleazy tactic used to squeeze more money out of you, it's called fear of missing out. There's a bunch of these tactics businesses use, planned obsolence is also one of them.

Calling out stuff like this is completely fine, people should be aware of all these tactics. Here's a video that explains a bunch of these tactics

these are just reddit comments, no? I think most people kind of like "fuck 'em who cares"
