TW are a small indie company?
HBO are an obscure TV network?
TW are a small indie company yes. HBO are not an obscure TV network.
Look i'm simply using a well known piece of media in order to explain observations I've made in other areas outside of gaming.
It can be anything, pizza day at the end of the school year, Dad coming home from getting cigarettes.
The point is,
A thing is hyped/advertised.
That thing doesn't live up to expectations.
Some people complain, others don't. Some people pretend they never cared. Most people move on.
Some people don't and thats ok.
If you never expected much or enjoy the product as is, that's fine too.
But only the truly desperate and lost will try to justify the whole ordeal by getting hyped for a "new thing" for example in this case BTS,
or in another example Dad coming back with cigarettes AND soda.
EDIT: I am more concerned with why it took Dad 10 years to get cigarettes. Why does Banner Lord have The Elder Scrolls 3 level collision?
