So I had a weird dream last night. My dreams never make any sense at all, but this one got me thinking.
I was sitting in some kind of lounge with a Starbucks attached to it. A girl walks in and goes up to the Starbucks counter holding a shrinkwrapped copy of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Strategy Guide. She said that Amazon sent it to her by mistake--don't remember if she had actually ordered it or if she had ordered something else and received that instead (it was also a little beaten up, like it had gotten damaged in shipping, for some reason). Whatever the case, she didn't want it, and was coming to the Starbucks to get rid of it for some reason. She tried giving it to the barista, but he didn't seem interested, so she tried giving it to someone else in the lounge/Starbucks, and of course a few people and myself all wanted it.
But then once I got my hands on it, I was apprehensive. We're still two months away from the game coming out, after all. Would I want to spoil myself and figure out who the unannounced fighters are, what Spirits mode is, the finer details of all the new mechanics and modes, and whatever else we don't know about yet? And if I did spoil myself, how would I be able to keep my mouth shut for two months and not share that information with anyone else? Could I really just put it away for two months and wait, knowing I had all the answers to the game right in my possession?
And that's about where my dream ended. Odd, but I thought the scenario and question was interesting.
So what would you do if you got ahold of the strategy guide and had information on everything in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Would you choose to wait until the game released, or would you open it right away and pore over every page? Would you keep that information to yourself, share it with just a few close friends, or would you announce things to the whole world?
