I love E3 time. While I may question the continued relevance that the show itself has moving forward, there?s no denying the fever pitch of news, rumors, and leaks coming from all angles. Some of these things are going to be early announcements from publishers and developers themselves, trying to get a spot of attention away from the rest of the noise. Some are going to be leaks, verifiable information that makes its way out into the public space ahead of an official announcement. These often happen thanks to innocuous things like pictures of keychains being produced for a game that has yet to be announced. Sometimes, these ?leaks? are actually carefully crafted publicity to increase the thrill of finding out the information by riding the hype. Other times, they ruin a surprise. It can often be hard to determine which is which. And then there are the rumors. Ah, the good old rumor mill. Here?s where people need to keep their salt shakers handy, because rumors are often theories formed by connecting the dots between various information points. Without a key telling us what the picture is supposed to look like, we too often draw the pictures we want to see, rather than the one that it actually creates. It might start somewhere in a truth, but it often ends up in an assumption or theory that only seems credible thanks to confirmation bias.
