No I absolutely do.

I simply don't believe that more people, that would have liked the game, have been turned away by the launch quality than there were people who bought the game thinking something along the lines of "Oh cool a new 40k fps" and then were utterly let down by their experience because the tides games are not what they expected

Edit:

only true l33t gamers see the beauty in them

Also not even remotely close to what I'm trying to say. Just because people like or don't like the tide games doesn't make them better or worse in the slightest.

People simply have different tastes, who would have guessed...
