Weekend Confirmed 78 - Gears of War 3, TGS '11
by Xav de Matos, Sep 16, 2011 12:00pm PDTWeekend Confirmed and the 8-4 Podcast have merged into one during the Tokyo Game Show once again! Garnett Lee and the crew at 8-4, Ltd.--behind such games as Shadow of the Damned--discuss their experience in Japan during TGS 2011. Then, Jeff Cannata and Xav de Matos take over from sunny, southern California and talk about Gears of War 3, the nefarious pricing structure of Crimson Alliance, and a handful of other games before ending it all with a few Twitter questions. The US segment was so quick that the WC Crew didn't even have time for Finishing Moves!

I understand the idea behind them. It helps companies assure the coverage hits at the same time but it seems like these days the dates are closer to release days and they are being used more frequently. I worry that they are now used to keep any negative points away from gamers until they have already bought them.
This bothers me because it seems like just another way to screw loyal consumers. Am I alone in this?
