Fanboyish behavior exist all the way up into top echelon of game devs. Like the guy who made Heavy Rain and the fired dev who bashed the Wii U and its version of Darksiders saying he's glad he didn't have to work on it. You have other situations of devs only releases on certain platforms out of fanboyish fervor.
Then there are fanboy reviewers who give bad reviews to good games which people read and decide not to buy.
It has more of an impact on the industry than most people are willing to admit.
