Instead we find out second-hand by piecing together the puzzle. They had to know it would get out and without greasing the skids the reaction is going to be rough.
A little heads up by Higby explaining to us what's happening would have gone a long way to keeping us calm and positive. In the absence of that it's only going to get worse. Something like "hey we started sending out invites, don't panic, here's the deal with that..."
Still not too late for that but I'm a bit disappointed we didn't hear it from him first.
Edit: Looks like they finally started giving us a clue so that's good start!

Yeah, I said the same.
While he's been quick off the mark with information once one of us cottoned on to these shenanigans, it really should have been pre-emptive. I'm sure it was done with good faith though.
EDIT: to make this clear, I state this in full knowledge that this is not beta. Developments like this that are, let us say, somewhat sensitive, should all at least have the developers giving us cryptic omens as to what is going on.
EDIT 2: Also, my gratitude to Timey. I'm sure your diligence will help curtail the least helpful comments.
