My response was exclusively to the author. I don't agree with him. And my point wasn't a bad game = more sales. But it means more people in his line of work will have more to write about. More exposé videos will be made if it is bad than if it is as good as V. The industry isn't in the thrall of a single release, though I understand that it might look that way to an outsider.
I see, not asking this to be insulting but did you read the article? I got the impression that he is making the exact same point you just did but that could just be how I read it. He even admits that his job depends upon the BS hype machine which was a breath of fresh air.
