Quoted from Aurich:That's because it's a good game.
People can be mad at me saying it all they want, but I was in the room when it was unveiled, and you could have snuffed a candle with the oxygen leaving the room, it was a total bomb. Theme wise. Just look at the threads here FFS, it's all recorded.
People started to come around when they discovered it was fun, because gameplay matters.
The launch was a moment in time. A moment that is irrelevant when talking about the reception of the game and it's premise on location a year plus later.
The people pez is talking about are isolated from that... and they like it. The launch bombed - the theme hasn't.
