Buying based on the future (Gaming)

The tech reviewer Marques Brownlee once said that you should buy tech based on what the product is TODAY, not what the company says it will be later.

Bungie has asked review outlets to not review the game as it is today. Not the game that you will play for a month, but the game that will exist at the end of March. The request was sent out to not publish reviews until the Marathon cryo archive map drops.

This seems like a vault of glass situation all over again, no? Why would you not want people to know what the game is like TODAY? The only reason I can think of is because they believe it is weak. Sure, I’ll bet Cryo Archive is a cool map, but everything leading up to it should be cool too.

Asking people not to review the game that is in people’s hands right now is not a good sign.
