Not only is it the weekend, but as was mentioned already, many of the GGG staff were in the US for the press tour. Presumably, they then had to fly back to the studio(sadly waypoints and portal scrolls haven't been invented IRL yet, and this is a rather long flight) so they can be ready for all the final preparations. After what was probably already a very long week with the press tour and then an extremely long flight, I think it's understandable that they might want to take the rest of the weekend off before getting back to work.

As far as i know,2 people were in the US,not "many of the GGG staff",and that doesn't stop in any way the frequency of posts,you can check reddit to see that.

That`s what we are all waiting... and just so we are clear: watching streams and other people play it for 2 months is not really experiencing it , more like ruining the experience.

I can't really announce anything that wasn't in the press tour, but I have some trivia for the marketing stuff I worked on if you like.
For example, I made (and played) most of the characters in the gameplay trailer. It was a fun couple of days because I was just playing act 4 to gather footage.
I actually created one more character for filming, but some key things it was using weren't ready to be shown.
A bunch of screenshots include my testing/preview characters because I lent my internal account to the people making them.
The necrotic armour set gained some cool effects after I finished filming, but sadly they weren't in the press tour version.
Abyssal Cry looks awesome when combined with Demon Hand Cleave. That's pretty much entirely why the Marauder in the trailer is using Cleave.
While I was filming, several important things such as Energy Shield were totally broken.
I designed one of the unique items in The Awakening. It hasn't been shown off in any of the marketing materials. What's weird is I could've sworn I've seen it around here somewhere...
And here we were, hoping for new ES mechanics :(

who said that streaming will be enabled or allowed? i don't think it will for exactly the reasons you mentioned. sure, there will be videos on youtube anyway but not players making money with their exclusive access to new content.

huh? well it is already confirmed that there will be no NDA and if you follow some of the famous streamers they are absolutely sure they will be in the CB , some of them have already confirmed it and they have confirmed they will stream it.Where do you live anyway? Making money from exclusive content is the base of twitch nowdays...
