The whole 'be wary' and 'don't watch it if you don't want it spoiled' is not a valid response; it's not just on the forums or youtube, it's everywhere and even being wary I have accidentally stumbled upon screenshots.
Yes, I can see where you're coming from, but in that case I have another question for you:
Unless you go see, or play every single video game, or movie right when they release, or before any potentially spoilerish stuff is released, which I highly doubt, how do you deal with not spoiling yourself? What you just said would pretty much apply to every single case in which there's a piece of media you wish to see, but haven't yet, and there are spoilerish stuff already circulating on the web.
You make a good point; however, what I'm getting to is it annoys me that this 'snippet' of footage was released so damn soon, why two weeks before release - I can understand the marketing idea behind it - but what I can't understand is why so soon. It would make sense to release this footage at least a day or two before release so you don't have this gap before playing the game for yourself and so there's a chance to experience an encounter on your own.
So yes we have spoilerish content circulating the web two weeks prior to the release date, it doesn't make sense to me at all... All of this silence and all of this hush hush business about the development and then out of no where all of this content before we've had a chance to discover these things for ourselves; it's not a good feeling.
