Why do gaming companies such as Blizzard like to keep what they are working as mega secret as possible? The one two reasons I can think of are because their plans could change at any time, or they don't want the competition to know what they are up to. Which I can understand both points, but whats the worst that would happen if today Blizzard and said something like "Hey guys we are thinking about doing this or this for our next expansion and implementing these features, what do you all think?" It seems this way the community can be actually part of the development process. Now as far as their plans changing at anytime, wouldn't this problem be solved by making a disclaimer with every twitter post or what not saying that their plans could change at any time?
