Because, thanks to the internet, everyone now has a place to [censored] and moan about every little thing they see wrong with a game as well as share their opinion, weather you want to hear it or not.
I came here because I was waiting for Skyrim. Then I just ended up staying, even with Skyrim released, because it is fun talking to other Elder Scrolls fans.
You always get an influx of cretins into any new game's forum. They'll be gone in a month or two.
Yup, happens every time. Hell I remember when FO3 was announced/released, the influx of old school Fallout (FO1, FO2) [censored]ing and moaning was insane! Most of them left after a while but it was a crazy time.
