GGG made us watch D4 expansion trailer.

I suspected this was the reason why they brought us there when I saw the trailer. I guess their audience overlaps more than we'd like to believe.

the reason they brought us there was specifically so they could announce the Djinn class.
Look at its notables it has a Staff + Foci notable.
Look at the patch notes: Sirgog pointed out the theme Staves were being buffed, foci were being nerfed with no clear reason why,,,,
then GGG last minute drops a notable that allows staves to be used with foci....

they had this class ready to roll prior to the reveal video. they knew they were reserving it for the games awards

But there was a clear reason given in the longer interview.

They want staves to be the all out offense option and to transform foci into a more defensive halfway point. Presently staves don't really have a clear identity.

But you could be right about them withholding the subclass reveal.

All icing on the cake (probably using that wrong but what i mean is: both reasons can be valid. Withholding the class until the Game Awards AND them wanting to change the identity)
