Yes, we caused the hype. I agree entirely with that statement.
However.
You cant tell me that Bungie, with all their advertising experience and video gamer expertise did not foresee something like this happening. You put a damn 'secret' website at the end of a huge movie preview, make a 'hacked' site with a countdown and are SURPRISED when rumors arise that the countdown leads to a new release date???
Give me an f-ing break.
I liked the website idea, it brought up a lot of new story elements and arguments and things to talk about while we wait. But to have a countdown such as it is and NOT disprove any of the swelling beliefs and rumors for weeks, then be surprised and upset that so many people are still posting about it and are angered by it...
Bungie, I love you, but that's Bull.
