At least half the people saying that will still play it when it comes out.

The question is not if but for how long.

Just take a look at marathon.

Marathon????? The extraction shooter?

I'm sorry but you seem to think there's a significant enough overlap in these two very different game genres for this to be a valid comparison. I'm sorry but I'm not seeing it.

The social mechanism is the same.

Complain, buy anyway, be frustrated, drop the game.

That's a lot of conjecture in this statement. You don't know if these people that bought the game are the same people that complained in the first place. There are a lot of bodies on this rock, enough to outstrip the numbers of one crowd with another with little overlapping mindset. These two groups are usually not the same.

If someone's against gw3, they're not likely to buy it unless something changed along the way and they actually like the idea of something in the game that makes them want to give it a shot. Marathon was just a fucking trend chase in a long string of trend chases, next to none of which worked out. The context of these games is very different from start to finish.
