Does it matter who says what before it's released? If it's good people will review it on release and say it's good. If it's bad people will play it and say it's bad.
It kind of does, early reviews and sentiment can have a big impact on how well the game does long term.
I understand it does, but I'm arguing that sentiment shouldn't matter before there's any reviews. There are no early reviews yet.
It shouldn't but people (especially in the context of something "not important" like gaming) as a mass do not operate on logic.
So I guess I agree; but, you're probably wasting your breath "yelling into the wind."
I guess, put another way, I've done it many times/used to think more this way and I think I might have appreciated more nudges that "... yeah you're right but people are going to people regardless of what makes sense."
