I have to say, in regards to the "it's not SotN quality so it's bad" kinda mindset, when did SotN suddenly become THE spriting standard of the universe? It's good, no contesting that, but you'd think everything before and after is invalidated by its quality and anything less somehow ruins everything else about the rest of the game, with how much this mindset gets tossed around.
I also think it says a lot about the fandom that a third of us are varying degrees of hyped or anxious, another third is calling that third gullible/easily excited or calling for skepticism, and the final third has become so jaded about the series that even a direct confirmation announcement wouldn't please them, about all of this.
