it has to be now.
I want SC to succeed, because it would totally be my sort of game.
But it's got years of delays in, people have "invested" thousands, the game has been hyped nonstop throughout the majority of this decade.
Now, no matter how good a game it is objectively, it's not going to meet the hype. Games never do at the best of times! And this has had years of tech demos, promises, long posts of how awesome it was going to be...
Worse, in many ways it'll be unfair. They'll launch with a good game, and people will hate it because it's not The One True Game, then all their fanboy love will turn to white hot rage at having been milked for years.
You saw it in MWO on a
vastly smaller level. People who bought hundred dollar founders packs and where disappointed, then the rage at things not being what was promised, shared by those who didn't spend a dime.
It will be so much worse given the money invested and the time - MWO's founder program was pretty quick and not endlessly delayed.
SC is going to explode.
