Except we've known the NMS gameplay loop for a while now (Gaming)

If you have a really great game, these types of videos should excite people. But it seems to be doing the opposite. I can only conclude the "don't spoil yourself" is a bullshit line, and the real reason is so that people don't decide to not buy the game, or worse: cancel their pre-orders.
I stick to my theory that if you can't easily and enthusiastically explain the mechanics, and what type of game you have, then you have a mess on your hands.
