What's even the point in these kinds of comments? The game doesn't rely on the player community being large so why even bring it up?

I would assume their point was that a lot of games seem to be driven by self propelling hype I'm not saying it's not necessarily a bad game, I just think that he means everyone will have forgotten about it by then and everyone will jump on the next hype train

I guess there's nothing really being added to the conversation but I do see it in my friend groups where people hype up a game, buy it for a week then it's never mentioned again, the last one being lethal company

You nailed it. To the other commenters, my point is not that there wont be people playing it at all in a month. More that in a short amount of time the perceived "greatness" of this game will no longer be the consensus. Games that get this kind of hype excel on that hype alone, most times it's fueled by streamers who are filling a gap while they wait for a more anticipated game to launch. Once players get a couple weeks in the honeymoon phase subsides and we are left with another early access title that was never really that great in the first place. It has been out 2 days. I'll be happy to come back and say I was wrong. Time will tell. I'll go back the patientgamers now.
