The game would flop, they said. The game was too average, they said. The game's launch was too poor, they said. The game would never sell a million units, they said. The game would be a MAJOR flop, they said. I tried to tell them to wait and that the game could still put up respectable numbers. But they didn't listen.

So I waited...

But now the time has come to speak up and face the numbers:

          
                   

 

You must know that gamers like to think and live for the short term. They see week 1 numbers and they will react accordingly. You expect people to remain silent and wait a year before commenting? What a silly thought.

Its examples like this when one victory comes at the cost of 2+ years after a game releases. The "victory" is hollow. The buzz has passed, the gamers have moved on, and only those who were obsessed by taking the loss as personal would care today.


Nope, its the other way around.

The victories which are celebrated prematurely because people know there wont be much to celebrate when the truth comes out.

Its like people already claiming DX12 is so awesome and kicks PS4's ass, but when it actually comes out and the dust has settled, PS4 will still be more powerful, yet some will have claimed the hollow 'victory' at a time of hype and buzz.... and despite the amount of times expectations are never met, they still dont take a moment to think before jumping on the next hype train and claiming victory before it crashes.
