The message was sent to all on the pre-order list...not a select few. It contains no earth shattering information except that games are progressing, small snafus here and there, we might see a game by the end of the year, but he can't promise it, and there's no issue with the licensing (nothing in the prototype will be removed). Exactly what we all expected. I don't believe there's anything secretive about it. However, why post anything here...so people can nitpick it to death again? Everyone with their torches can just walk away now...
