no tree, those 2 aspects are completely unconnected
we do only start seeing ingame video from the (near) finished game when it is just about to be released, or released, because for oleg it seems important to keep his competition guessing till the last moment (so he gets some lead time and reestablishes himself as the leader in the field). you personally would whine even more if oleg had kept everybody openly informed about everything, his competition had copied the "look and feel" of his project yet without providing the depth and quality, and at oleg's release time you would have whines "but it doesnt look much different from the others"
about the marketing component, that will become more relevant once there is a fixed release date (you know, so they can keep their "promise" and the short attention span teens and so they dont get to jumpy with their ADD). BoB is not like a playstation console game that needs, or gets, lots of marketing hype to artificially build up sales and needs grab peoples attention amongst another 50 roughly the same games released by other companies around the same time. its a niche market, most of who's customers already know about it, some selected marketing at specific targets near release time will probably do it (and then being know as "the best in its genre")

no, only the fantasy in tree's mind is it a long way off, just because he believes lots of whining will somehow make a difference in eventual release time, or get him some personal attention
