Why are games announced so long before their release dates? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Games have always been announced months before they actually come out. This is so they can advertise the game and get fans excited for it, because then they're more likely to buy it right away. However, recently they've been announcing games years in advance. This is a really bad marketing decision. Nobody wants to wait that long for anything, and many people end up just forgetting about it after months of waiting. Not only this, but it gives people too much time to raise their expectations. Fans will always be disappointed by anything that makes them wait that long. This is because people believe if you have to wait that long, it must be for a really amazing reason. So if a game is just an average game, even if it's a good game, people will always find something wrong with it. Because of this, I don't know why companies think it's a good idea to announce their games this far in advance; especially since it will only cause the game to fall short of expectations. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
