"Sadly, the launch of the game was a different story. Stellar reviews and problems with the game itself caused a major downfall in popularity of the game."

Wait, so outstanding reviews actually contributed to the games decline in popularity?

Was it because more people bought the game because of the reviews, then left because of it's subsequent problems? (Creating a larger drop off then had it gotten poor reviews.) Or is that just a typo?
