Nothing demonstrates how broken, stupid, and annoying the video game hype/marketing/reaction cycle is than that of Star Wars: Outlaws.
Announcement: Oh look Ubisoft's making an action open-world-ish Star War. Probably gonna be ok if you're into Star Wars, nothing exciting about the gameplay but if it it's not super-buggy it's going to be safe, pretty game for those that are into what it's offering.
THIS WAS ALWAYS THE CORRECT REACTION
Hype: Take that Starfield, this will be best! Oh no an expensive special edition, call the FTC and make them ban Ubisoft, which is literally worse than the holocaust! Anyone who buys this game is worse than 50 IGNs!
Internet incel crowd: woke etc (this is just literally every game now)
Star Wars fans: continue to hate joy
Pre-release reviews: game is pretty good, nothing special- WHAT A SHOCK it doesn't blow chunks who saw this coming (see original announcement).
All of this nonsense when any reasonable person knew what this game was going to be the first time they heard about it.
