This game is gonna have such a rough launch. Not because it's a bad game, I'm sure it's gonna launch in a good state, but because people are overhyping themselves, expecting things and features that have never even been hinted at. The fans are gonna disappoint themselves with promises they themselves made to each other.

Yeah, I have seen people being disappointed when they found out there is loading screen when entering / leaving the planet, because it was "obvious" that they would just allow flying over the whole planning and landing whereever you want and so on.

It is most definitely an article. Would you like to read the headline again, but longer?

Aside from clickbait, that's probably my most hated trend with news articles nowadays. We noticed something, said a vaguely interpretable sentence then wrote that sentence in about as many ways as we could then posted it. It just feels so damn lazy, and such a waste of time. I could have just read the headline and moved on.

These news sites need to drop the article format and adopt a more blurb like style where instead of a user needing to click through a headline, it's just a headline and like 2 sentences about the thing the headline is talking about. And then for further context click through but that's it really.
