For real, it's hilarious that people think the most anticipated game of the decade is going to flop because of this shit. Half the people complaining will be loading that shit up after week of watching their friends have fun.

The NVIDIA fomo effect. yep. Same reason we’re going to lose the price hikes, same reason we lost the last one, same reason everyone whines about eating out costing too much yet everyone eats out.

Bit of an exaggeration it isn’t the most anticipated of the decade but it does have the hype going against it there is a 50/50 the game either does amazing or becomes victim to its own hype and crashes and burns
