You are old fashioned, but also wrong. In the old days there were gaming guides sold alongside games that provided the same information that players can get on youtube. Only a few games have had secrets revealed years after they came out.
The youtube full of ads and sponsors is crappier though, if you don't just block them.
There was absolutely a sweet period around when indy games were taking off and after game guides had fallen out of favour, where secrets like this in medium sized games (or huge indy hits) could remain for years.
I would like to remind the assorted that the official final fantasy 9 guidebook left out massive chunks of useful information to encourage you to go online to their website.
It was a dark time.
The only guide I remember using was a friends FF7 phone book sized thing that included how to breed chocobos and al the summons. After doing all the side stuff fisrst the final fight with Sepheroth was pretty underwhelming...
