Just say, “we really want to tell you exactly what’s coming, because you’re gonna love it and we want to see you all lose your minds, but we’re not even sure yet if it’s gonna work how we think, so we don’t want to tell you yet until it’s ready and we know it’s gonna work. Sorry guys, but that’s gonna have to be our answer every time you ask.”

Travis did “just say” that.

Before some clever person asks the obvious question, allow me:

What are the reasons that you might choose to NOT answer a question?

Great question! It’s usually because we’d rather wait until another time to talk about a specific topic. When people ask “any plans for XYZ?”, that’s a very difficult question to give a good answer for. We probably have some plans or ideas, but don’t want to talk about them yet. Either because they might not turn into anything, or because we’ve got very concrete and secret plans about them that we want to excite you with at a later point to keep the focus on our current new content.

There might be other reasons too, but we generally try not to dodge too many questions and give a boring answer if that’s all we’ve got.

And according to this…

@Heisenberg

And there you go. And no need for them to even answer any questions tangentially related to future content because they’ll already have covered the fact that they won’t and why until it’s coming.

… you should be happy now and no longer ask questions about future content.
