Reminds me of Carmack's recent announcement at Quakecon that they've decided not to give out information about future games. They had so many issues with every little kid online speculating wildly about Rage and then the trolls and website like Kotaku moving in for the kill they've just decided it's best to say nothing at all when you know everything you say is going to be twisted completely out of context. Sad to hear from one of the industry's leading figures known for being willing to discuss his work publicly in great detail, but a modern reality of online life.
