I read this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23754311 and it made me think of how similar can happen in small hobbyist communities like the jag.
Announcing a title too early can be quite a pain for the developer, and lead to too much interest from the fans, leading to too much pressure on the developer which suddenly turns what was a fun thing to do, into some high pressure thing. Especially if you don't want to disappoint anyone. I have spoken to people who have regretted announcing their plans as soon as they have done in the Jag community, I myself have regretted my own announcements, especially as very few have seen the light of day.. (Warballs.. ahem... Image may be NSFW.

Just thought it an interesting article, especially as it reflects things I have seen in my own little community Image may be NSFW.
