Besides, this type of Pied Piper of Hamelin effect, when a hyped game comes out and everyone flocks to it rubs me off wrong.
That's pretty much my feelings about it, though I've always been that way so I rarely play new games to begin with. I'm very happy for the developers but I've got like a reverse FOMO where everyone simultaneously praising a thing makes me less interested. It can certainly go on my backlog of hundreds of games to try someday.

Interesting that so many of us here seem to be likeminded about this. Instant popularity makes me socially defiant. Not sure why.
It should make you suspicious when something pops up out of nowhere and becomes instantly popular. Jordan Peterson for instance.
This imo is not one of those times.
