You do know fan doesn't equal willing to put up with any and all bullshit that comes there way right?

If you do that, your not a fan, your obssessed to an unhealthy degree.

People can very much be fans and then something negative happens... like multiple delays and people say "That's enough."

Were the people who stopped liking Michael Vick as a football player because he tortured dogs "Not really a fan."

When a second or third game turns out to suck, are the people that don't buy those "not really a fan."

The many people who would of bought Duke Nukem Forever, but won't because it's been 12 years...

are they suddenly not Duke Nukem fans?

 

You aren't a fan, your acting obssessed... you come off vaguely like the "Leave Britney Alone" guy.


Fandom isn't undying love and unquestioning loyalty.  It's just simply liking something.

Hell you can be a fan of a game and never buy it.   My friend who doesn't have a PS3 is a fan of Valkria Chronicles, because he played it at my house.


This situation is slightly different. This isn't Chinese Democracy, Duke Nukem Forever, or the next George RR Martin book we are talking about. The game still has a solid release window, and people throwing up their arms in disgust after the second actual delay of the game likely never really cared much for it in the first place. Not that there is anything wrong with enjoying whatever the next big thing is, but I have to agree the people in question likely never really had a desire for this game specifically.

I do agree with most of the rest of what you said. A lot of his rant is way over the top, but I can see what kind of childish behavior inspired it. The internet is where people go to lie about how awesome they are to make their imaginary threats seem somehow serious or to troll others. The gaming community in particular is chock full of them. Personally I am sick to death of them as well.
