The stuff you're seeing is obviously from a beta, not indicative of release, and I'm really way too upset to address this in a calm manner at this time.
The person who leaked this is a personal friend of one of our programmers. I anticipated exactly this kind of issue, Oleg warned me about this specifically. The programmer asked us to give his buddy beta access as a personal favor to him, and I in turn took the responsibility on myself. I got chewed up for this big time, and I'm seriously considering letting the programmer go. It goes without saying that the author's beta access is revoked, and I'm cutting all further communication with him.
We caught this a bit too late, by which time it was way too late to try to delete it, so we'll let you guys continue discussing it but probably won't check the thread or respond to anything related to these videos.
We'll release final gameplay videos once we go gold, where you can judge the features that are shipping with release.

I can understand the frustration at the loss of trust BUT the good feedback you have got over something you say isn't finished [gold] must give you an indication of the direction you are going or need to go.
Use it positively.
The only downside i can think of is if the final release is NOT as good as the video leaked but hopefully i trust this isn't the case.
