Well, I suppose it's something that a Verge article held back from spoiling the trailer until just before where they embedded it in the article. Usually they put it right in the headline. I wish people would stop supporting this trash site and let it die.

How did they spoil the trailer for you? What's an example of them doing it in the headline?

  Is this a serious question?

    Yes! Sorry if it was dumb.. I don't know a lot about StarCraft or sentiment around the Verge I guess. Was just curious! The best I can guess is that the space marine mech guys don't ever die in the original games? So its a big deal to see that in the trailer, or have that detail written down? Having the habit of spoiling in the headline is kinda just funny and I had no idea, would genuinely love some examples.

I have no idea what you could consider a spoiler for a three minute trailer that's nothing but vibes.

It’s a trailer, you really think that’s something that can be spoiled? Do you get mad if someone spoils a Super Bowl ad?

They also claim the trailer follows the United Earth Directorate from Brood War when they clearly mention the Terran Dominion in the trailer. It's a minor thing, but do these sites not have editors?

!SPOILERS! The trailer shows nothing. Mentions a couple of factions that have previously been established from the lore and shows some Space Marine montage footage that could have been a cutscene from the prior games. It is not gameplay and just as easily could be promotion material for a Starcraft 3 RTS.

  There is a clear emotional arc that the trailer tries to construct, and the article demolishes it by revealing the twist/punchline. It's disrespectful to the artists that made the trailer, the devs who were relying on it to generate excitement for the game, and the viewers like me who had their experience ruined by knowing what was going to happen.

    It's a 3-minute trailer. I don't think they spoiled anything. Sure, the artists probably put tons of effort into it, but if you are reading an article instead of the short clip, then probably you didn't care about it as much anyway?

      They spoiled the twist ending to the trailer. It's right there in the article, right before where the video was linked/embedded. It's unavoidable for readers who engage with the article in good faith; the writer abused the benefit of the doubt that was given to them. I don't understand what you're arguing.
