Fanfest 2015 is likely going to be all about Valkyrie anyway, especially if Katee Sackhoff rocks up like she said she would.
Besides, as anyone that's been to Fanfast will tell you, the much more interesting stuff is in the Roundtables and discussion with the Devs in the pubs.
A secret shared in a room of 100 people is still a secret to the DUST community, though 100 people is a fairly decent portion of our community *zing!* But I am being honest; if the information is only for those that are in the room, that are wearing their oh-so wonderful uniforms, it might as well not be released for the purpose of the rest of us. Most of us will not be at FanFest. What 'good' is it to have a roundtable when the majority of the community may never, ever see it?
Understand how this looks from the other side. Soraya mentioned that "it can be difficult because you would want to defend CCP because you know something that others don't so that extra information leads your statement" (thanks for posting, by the way!) which is very understandable. "CCP isn't doing anything for us!!!" "What do this joker mean, 'nothing'? 1.9 is coming and... oh, right." For me, this looked less like "the hype factory is being shutdown" and rather "we have nothing to say about Legion or DUST."
Again, the fact might be that CCP has already mentioned "we are trying to find a way to announce Legion" or at the least the CPM probably has good reason to not worry about "no announcement" because of other information. I truly understand and firmly believe that all y'all are saying "TELL THE PLAYERS!" about so many things if not to stem our fears then because we bug the HELL out of you with DM's on twitter about "hey, just this once, break NDA" (I am sure you have been asked) but our hope and optimism starts to turn into paranoia and regret. Something you wanted to happen not happening is bad. Something you were hoping against reason, the true underdog of all things and the faith you put into?
When that goes south, it is pretty much the emotional equivilant of stepping on a bear trap.

^ Basically the result of me being at EVE Vegas this year. "That game is still around?" was basically the question of the night. Thought it was funny talking to people, mentioning things I didn't like about X, and having them be "let me see your name tag" so they could hunt me down and kill me in EVE. My response every time:
"I am a DUST player. What could you do to me that CCP has not already done?"
Let's hope that it is just a "we are not hyping it and just going to release information as we have it" rather than "we have no information" or "we don't want to let out the stinky turd-fart that is DUST and Legion at an otherwise wonderful event." As with everything with this game, we can only wait and see.
