Blizzard isn't the only one. Square Enix, via Creative Unit 3 (the FF14 crew) had this going on since Dawntrail hit its own pre-launch hype.

SE just began its own new hype cycle after years of shitting the bed with the current expansion and letting Troons and Death Cultists ruin it for everyone- led by Chief Commie Kate Cywhateverthiscuntsnameis. They got to run wild while Yoshi-P and his man Koji Fox did their best to salvage FF16, which is how the EN version in particular shat the bed so hard that everyone else got smeared by association.

It is hoped that this will be fixed with the new stuff coming, announced over last weekend at the North American FanFest.

(No, Lanse here isn't a fan; he hates Kate and the Troon Squad, but doesn't spare Yoshi-P for letting them do it.)

AAA Gaming across the board has been shitting the bed due to both Death Cult and Mammon Mob fuckery, mostly in the West but Japan isn't immune.

Meanwhile, AA Gaming and Indies on both sides of the Pacific keep delivering. I'm far more hyped for this than the just-announced Evercold.

There's more I'm looking for--Light No Fire for example--but AAA? Not really. Not until there's some serious purging of the ranks.

In a related note, I am available for hatchetman work.
