You're conflating, Warlocke - they did not say that folks cannot like and enjoy the game for what it is without having been deceived by the various hype tactics used. They did not say that at all. Many people are, perhaps, and many people were enthused for the game because of said tactics, but that in no way implies that others cannot simply come to the game and enjoy it for what it is without being in that false-hype position. Euph, above, seems to be a good example of this - someone who was not taken in by the hype engine or the over-promising that failed to deliver under the first layer of paint, but who nevertheless enjoyed the game as a somewhat mediocre RPG that was an entertaining fill of their time while it lasted, despite its many issues.
