mox:
Would it make a difference if I said "There will be a major twist to the game, but I want to keep it a surprise. It will (or will not, whichever is the truth) involve a genre change."
Only if I know what the genre is changing to.
There is a vast difference between:
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be catapulted into adventure" and,
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be transported into a Fantasy Heartbreaker" and,
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be transported into a Fantasy Dungeon Crawl" and,
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be kidnapped by aliens into a Star Wars romp" and,
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be kidnapped by aliens into a Transhuman Space political campaign" and,
"You start as boring work-a-day modern plebs, but will be swept away into a Fifty Shades of Eyes Wide Shut boardroom and bedroom politicking".
Vast, vast differences

I'd want to know the genre the game is really going to be. Don't care what genre the introduction is in, I want to know what genre a game I'm going to be potentially investing years into is going to be in.
Otherwise you're potentially wasting every one's time, and the chance is very high that we'll have a major reset of players.
He (and a bunch of other people) gets it.
