I believe that in any game forum, when bitching, griping and general negativity reach a certain threshold, people who enjoy the game stop visiting and posting. The whining is too overbearing at that point. I know I feel that way.
If I get a game and dislike it, I might visit a forum to say so, but I never return ad nauseum to flog the horse some more. Just as some folks embrace long personal grudges against others, some gamers enjoy regurgitating their disappointment angst. In the earliest months after Rome’s release we had someone complain here regularly who didn’t own the game. He vicariously came to dislike it!
