If you'd like to talk about an interview about the BTTF game, you actually shouldn't!

Well, the name-callers never earn any sympathy.

It's debatable that the course of this whole interview was clear to the interviewer from the beginning, though. Judging from the PC Gamer Podcast, the "Angry Video Gamer" could have hoped for vague snippets.

Fact is, we don't really know exactly HOW these new franchises were presented to the press at E3. I seriously doubt that the idea "we have nothing to show or tell at the moment" was communicated up front, and that results in interviews like that. Quite possibly other major gaming sites and magazines have conducted equal "interviews" at E3, but they chose not to publish them for lack of value.

This is not an attack on TTG, or Grossman, or whatever. If there's nothing to present yet, there's just nothing to present yet! From a marketing standpoint however, I feel that this actual "introduction" of BTTF and JP to the gaming world was more than just a bit unfortunate.
