Hey man, when you show a game, you're telling people its ready to be shown. No one cares about what build it is in, no one gives a shit and they shouldn't. You are telling the press "this game is ready for us to show and for you to play." That means they were confident in their build. Period. The writers always bail them out in the end ("we'll play a better build in the future..."), but that's the way I see it. You take your lumps or praise along with it.
They should have been more controlled in showing this. Demoed it on stage themselves with their own employees to show the game in a better light.
