* The author behind ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]'' draws an inordinate amount of pleasure from toying with the readers, offering periodic bits of [[Word of God]] and copious amounts of [[Shrug of God|shrugs]]. One of his favorite non-answers in [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=163762 the discussion thread] on [[~~Space Battles~~]] is to respond to someone's question or comment with a picture of [[Gargoyles|David Xanatos]] with a smug grin on his face. The deliberate vagueness of the picture (Am I on the right track? Am I completely wrong? Does he know something I don't? ''GAAAAAAAAH!'') just makes it worse.

Line 93:

* [[Square Enix]] and the much anticipated ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' remake. SE loves to tease the idea of the remake only to debunk again and again.

** ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' is their latest game they love to do this for. Imposing questions about the game will elicit a response completely unrelated to ''Versus XIII''.

{{quote|'''The [[PlayStation]] Blog''': ''“When will we finally be able to play Final Fantasy Versus XIII? You know, [[Schedule Slip|the game has been in development for eons]]. Do you have anything to share at this time? Anything!”''

'''Motomu Toriyama''': ''“First, please enjoy XIII-2 while you wait for additional information.”'' }}

* Ed Boon, co-creator and current executive producer of the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' series, seems to be this [http://twitter.com/#!/noobde if one checks his Twitter updates.] For example, several fans wonder why the latest game (''[[Mortal Kombat 9|Mortal Kombat (2011)]]'') doesn't include the [[Prince|purple]] [[In Name Only|ninja]] [[Mortal Kombat 3|Rain]] (the game almost exclusively includes the characters from the original trilogy). One fan proclaims, "RAIN!!!!" on Boon's Twitter, requesting Rain to be added as [[Downloadable Content|DLC]]. Boon's reply? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGA_rZxIV0 This.] Klassic.

Line 109:

* Tom Siddell, of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', is very good at this, and can be rather acerbic with it as well. The recent ''City Face'' short demonstrates this rather nicely.

* Fred Gallagher of ''[[Megatokyo]]'' does this from time to time. Miho in particular was a figure of mystery for a long time.

* Randy K. Milholland of ''[[Something Positive]]'' is known to do this. An example is his [http://somethingpositive.net/sp05312009.shtml admittance] that the continual [[Ship Tease]] between characters Davan and Pee Jee would never actually lead to anything, the result of an early promise he made to the woman that Pee Jee was based on, but he decided to "play with" the readership concerning the pairing.

* Brian Clevinger, creator of ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'' and ''[[Atomic Robo]]'' is one of those few Teasing Creators who actually ''are'' unfairly toying with their readership, but is still pretty beloved because he makes it funny. In this case, it's less [[Ship Tease|Ship Teasing]] and more 'changing the plot if you even try to guess what's going on, and hell why not have an [[Anticlimax]] instead of an awesome fight'. His most common quote is this:
