Well for better or worse, sites are posting it it seems, so there's that.
Still GAF has a sizable population that would want to know (and not already interested in the game) so yeah. Me I thought it was neat and made me more excited.

I will never get peoples sensitivity to non-narrative spoilers with anything.

It's relatively easy to avoid such information being divulged at a games show press conference, should you wish to. It's less easy to avoid a thread title on a super-popular message board.
Common sense would be to state that hidden characters have been revealed in the thread title, with identities in the thread only for those who wish to see them.
I've been through the game twice and there's no sign of any of these guys, so without Kamiya's intervention, this would still be a pretty big secret, and I'm sure many would have preferred to keep it that way. Be sensible and don't take it upon yourself to decide for others what's spoiler-worthy and what isn't. Be respectful of their enjoyment and willingness to experience entertainment fresh.
Exciting news for me, though.
Because people play games for other reasons than narrative. Most people in fact.

So when we talk about these characters in the actual OT do we really have to spoiler tag them?

I'm even more excited for this now. I'll probably never unlock them because they probably require some insane skill, but will very cool.
I wish Sam Gideon was in this as well.

Including me, but people get way to excited over not hearing anything for fear of being spoiled unless it was shared in the press or was news before. like that makes things better. It's a weird compulsive fear in my book and being scared of it ruins games far more than giving in and just letting yourself being excited when you hear of all the things you can do in a game wether it's official or not.

I'm pissed because I'm halfway through the game. I intentionally am avoiding the OT to avoid anything spoiled. To have the final unlockables spoiled in the title of a thread that I have no way of avoiding is completely insensitive.

There are many staggering, jaw-dropping gameplay moments in Wonderful 101 alone that I'd feel bad to reveal to anyone ahead of playing it for themselves, because it just wouldn't have anywhere near the same impact knowing about it ahead of time. It's better to go into any game, book, movie or album fresh, particularly if it's one you're looking forward to, so that your reactions are spontaneous, uncoloured and true to your natural outlook. I don't think official or non official disclosure enters into it. I accept that artists and publishers have to strive to generate interest in their work, and throwing out an abundance of preview material is one of the best ways to do it, particularly to entice those otherwise looking the other way, but gratuitous spoilery in general is just a jerky thing to do, unintentional, official, or otherwise.

Nah, it's alright. Can't be helped. The game's still great, anyway.I'm sorry about that.

It's amazing what people consider to be spoilers. In my opinion, if it is revealed officially, it isn't a spoiler.

Lol yeah, especially when you consider how specific they are to unlock. You're not going to find these by accident or just by playing through the game casually.
This is "guess I gotta look this up" level of unlockable.

The game has a menu telling you the requirements for each hidden character. It's not like you're meant to find them completely by accident.

Every numbered character you recruit is playable. They all have their own stats.

The woman you spend half the game fighting and the guy you buy all your upgrades off and the hardest boss in the game.
Have you even played bayonetta?
As for spoilers, sorry these are the most obvious characters to think are included. Dunno how you can be upset about this. Captain falcon would be a spoiler (and a much better addition considering), not bayonetta.
