  Hey Josh! Appreciate the vid :) I&apos;d tend to agree that in most cases, hyping a game in development can raise expectations to unattainable heights and ultimately negatively impact the impression upon release for a game. With that being said though, I would caveat, there is a clear distinction between hype and excitement. Players should feel comfortable in expressing their excitement for a game or company <b>based</b> on solid reasons. Whether that excitement is for things like; graphics, designs, gameplay, philosophy, customer service, community interaction, transparency etc. When projects get this type of support and feedback from fans it helps the development by motivating the developers and dare I say, the industry in a few ways. Consumers aka players have a very powerful voice when it comes to expressing their content or discontent with the direction of a genre, or project. And it&apos;s important to use that voice so companies can navigate better when catering gaming experiences for their audiences. So in summary, tempering expectations can be a good thing, but don&apos;t be afraid to express your excitement or support for projects that you feel are doing a good job in specific areas. Cheers! &lt;3

  Never forget Ultima online originally had a fully functioning animal ecology. &nbsp;No one ever seen it because the players killed them all.
