Now see...you say that, but I rarely see that hold true. Look at the hate on games like Call of Duty, Half-Life, anything by Nintendo, Halo, etc, etc. There's still a lot of hate being laid on those games and their fans.
I mean, for God's sake, in Half-Life 2's case it's been over eight years. Yet the vitriol STILL flows like water over Niagara.
Also, on a side note, are you from the future? Because, you see, after typing my first post up and then clicking the 'post' button, as soon as the threads page reloaded (which took all of one second) I had a message alert. That alert was from you quoting me. So...
(can I borrow your time machine?)
Actually, the Halo hate has almost completely died - now, threads about it attract a lot of fans and praise is almost unanimous. I like the change.
Call of Duty keeps getting hated on, because every year, a new one is released to resuscitate the hatred. The Half-Life 2 thing is an incessantly annoying anti-bandwagon thing I am embarrassed to admit I was a part of a while ago - the utter, undying adoration for Half-Life was displayed so much that people tried it, and were disappointed and angry. Now it's picked up momentum, and people are becoming just as blind to the game's strengths as they used to be to its flaws.
I still think the Skyrim hate will probably die down soon, if only because the very Skyrim threads themselves will die down soon (though I doubt it'll ever completely disappear, because there will always be some bitter people).
And as for the blue time machine I found lying around a few weeks ago... Sorry, some douchebag in a suit and bow tie stole it just after I'd finished with it.
