let me add that people who were/felt coerced into buying the game on Steam can simply get it refunded now that sales figures actually look promising, unless ofcourse they already played it for more than 2 hours, which would indicate they actually bought the game to play it and not to "safe Blow"

"well if it's not a ploy then he is an attention whore" .. ¬_¬

my view is that he simply is a normal person with normal anxieties when faced with the result of years and years of work and investment, a little pessimism is a natural part of that

right now it looks like the game can sell several hundred thousend units at a decent price per unit, but the risk of falling completely short of your projections is very very real in games development

If you take your anxieties to social media, it is pretty much a cry for attention.

I've seen many people take their anxieties to social media, but then again I've seen many do it in gaming forums. I follow one guy on twitter who continues to post selfies and go from depression to loving himself in a small number of posts...

Personally I am perhaps getting a bit too old and dont really get that at all (putting everything about ones life online)... but this isnt really in that level is it? He's stating that he's concerned that if the game doesnt sell well he wont be able to make a game of the same scope, thats not the same as posting on twitter or forums that he's depressed, overly stressed....

so if we say he's making a cry for attention, could we then say anyone who posts anything online, what about appearing on TV in an interview on the news or documentary?... we could all live as hermits and never say anything to anyone... I think you are grasping now...
