I have never seen someone so upset that there's gaming news in the gaming community

[–] NiPfi 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I do understand the reaction somewhat though... It's these kinds of news that gets people hyped for a game and leads to the sort of pressure that might make a launch fail as it did with Cyberpunk

Announcing a game is not over-hyping. If you can't control yourself that a simple announcement that a game is in production makes you have a meltdown, then probably they shouldn't be browsing the gaming community, where this kind of news is expected

Help me solve my dilemma - I do want to hear about new exciting releases/reviews of upcoming games but I also don’t want news of announced games which are 5+ years away. And especially don’t want to hear about every little morsel of info they throw your way in the 5 year build up only to launch disastrously and then keep us in the news cycle for another 2-3 years where they advertise how they are fixing their game only to turn around and ask for more money to sell you an expansion. How do I just focus on the good ones?

Honestly it just sounds like you don't enjoy reading news about games, and that's fine, but this one is a good announcement
