I asked a series of questions on *BioShock Infinite* very recently (within the last hour), all of which were pummel-closed citing [this](https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4111/how-should-we-handle-non-beta-pre-release-questions) and [that](https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6971/should-we-reopen-question-being-closed-for-unreleased-game-after-the-game-is-r). I understand that it is not yet midnight in America, but it is still "release day" elsewhere in the world. Are these closures not inconsistent with the meta questions cited?

(Also, for what it's worth, I already knew these rules and found the hostile tone and assumption of bad faith excessive and demoralizing, especially when done with such impunity. This experience exemplifies why I do not usually participate in meta discussions.)
