Its a marketing thing more than anything else. They build up a good relationship with news sites by giving them exclusive press releases on upcomming info (which is why the expansion was first announced on IGN). Its too political for my tastes, but I can understand it/see the logic behind it.

Thanks for addressing my question. I just wish they cared more for the actual players than the possible future players. I feel neglected lol.

I don't mind too much, its better for the future of the game. Many games live and die by the press they receive, so getting good press (which you tend to get more of if you give web sites exclusive scoops on info) tends to bring more players in to the game (and more players usually = more resources devoted by SOE).
