Hey, panties in a wad guy. It's a self imposed prediction to achieving a goal. Not a lie. You are pressuring for an update on a goal yet to be achieved. They gave you a good faith estimate.
Shit happens. Get over it.
You can believe that if you like, but you can't stop me believing what I want to believe, or think what I think, especially since what I think makes ten times more sense than what you think.
Let me tell you a little story, a true story.
Some time ago I tried out Gloria Victis. I thought it was terrible, like horribly bad. And that's what I said in my review, I also said why I thought that and so on, as you do in reviews.
A friend of mine had been following the game for like, the very start, and he loved that game, and he loved the devs, and he hated anyone who didn't love that game.
To the point that when I posted that review on Steam, he got 6 of his friends to down vote it.
He admited to me, cause we're friends, that it wasn't that I was wrong or I was right, he hardly read the review and none of his friends read it.
He just wanted to support the game, support the devs, help the "small indie team" making this "unique never done before open world sandbox blah blah blah".
And he was ready to sacrifice the meaning of what a review is, if it helped people try the game.
Obviously, he was and is not the only one on the world doing this.
Obviously, in a game like LIF, same things will happen, it's even more or less the same configuration for the same "type" of game, or theme, although there are important differences.
It's also developped by an indie team, and it also has a very small (recently growing fast) community of followers who have been investing emotionally, financially, timewise and so on in the same way.
I mean I get why you guys do this, I totally get why my friend did what he did, I wasn't pissed at him at all, but I still think it's wrong.
If someone makes a legit review of a game, it's wrong to downvote it just because you don't want to scare potential customers.
And if someone makes a ligit argument, it's also wrong to troll and bate, and call the moderators and so on. It's the same thing and wrong for the same reasons.
In short : you can tell fanboys any obvious truth, if they think it goes against their game, they will troll, bate, spam, flame and deny it. It's always been like this, and probably always will be.
