I honestly have to blame the industry on this one. They've spent so long bait and switching, walking back on development promises, and otherwise jerking player communities around that I can't fault anyone for distrusting the actual developers and trusting data miners over them. As bad as developers have been though, the so called games journalists have been far worse in nearly every respect. For argument's sake, let's say that indeed the journalists are actually right about their claims that unlockable armors are indeed in campaign and they can't actually prove it due to the nda's. Ok, they've spent so long lying to the general public that youtubers are regularly trusted over them. Why should we trust them now?,(reply>), @Lor Furoll they literally get paid to lie to the public to boost sales of AAA titles. thats where their paychecks come from. thats where all their free trips to conferences and game launches and free review copies of games come from. no such thing as a free lunch.,(reply>), If you could unlock things in the campaign besides what was leaked, 343 ABSOLUTELY would have said "there will be more stuff to unlock in the campaign, including armor cores and other items."<br><br>They would have debunked it immediately. Why wouldn't they? They follow leaks and such closely. And they don't want bad press. <br><br>So they know about the leaks, but do nothing? Very telling. <br><br>Sure.... "innocent until proven guilty," but this is a company, for profit, and not a trial. They'd ABSOLUTELY debunk that leak if it lead to less anger and more profit.,(reply>), @Ish ha'elohim THIS!! UberNick for example hasn't posted ANYTHING about all of the crap going on right now, and he was invited by 343. While per say ActMan and Hidden are being thruthful to the community. Damn corporations and their greed.,(reply>), Lor Furoll not true, the major reason why games journalists are allowed to get a sneak preview at a game before it is released is so that they will give a good review and get more people to buy the game. In return, the companies that games journalists work for receive revenue from people visiting their sites to look at information for upcoming games. If games journalists consistently leave bad reviews or reveal negative info however, the journalist can/ will be blacklisted from reviewing further content. I.E. it’s advantageous to lie or tell half truths,(reply>), Well what's interesting now is that YouTubers are being bought. Look at the content of those YouTubers who are popular but weren't invited to be "forerunners", they're addressing the issues in the games. But if you look at those who were invited, they are radio silent and only are only puting out content that contains the highlights.
