I think it's certainly been the case with a lot of kickstarter projects and certain startups. There's so much pressure on people to realise short term success,

I think it's certainly been the case with a lot of kickstarter projects and certain startups. There's so much pressure on people to realise short term success, and so many people willing to believe in it.

While true this is really just a response to what the big companies have been doing for a long time. Some off the top of my head: MS Kinect trailer [1], and Hololens [2], also Ubisoft games with realistic graphics at E3 that were later downgraded [3].

  I mean Watch Underscore Dogs was trash anyways, I get what you're saying but I almost don't even blame them for the E3 thing because how else were they going to polish that turd? ...and from the video I see that it's not just Watch Underscore Dogs by a long shot! It's weird to me that they keep pulling this nonsense, when amazing graphics are probably one of the biggest draws for Ubisoft Game. Maybe they're just banking on a steady supply of new gamers not savvy enough to realize that all Ubisoft games are Ubisoft Game.

    Downvoted for insistence on nagging about the underscore.

      Underscores qua underscores are not a problem. But the underscore in the name of Watch Underscore Dogs is worth calling out for the way it underscores the absurd degree of edgewank throughout the game.
