True, it's of no direct consequence to you. But once heavily overhyped trash like Oblivion or Hellgate starts to decide what makes a game a decent game, it most certainly becomes a problem for everyone. And it takes perhaps one decade to make a new generation forget about the better RPG titles that came before.
I mean, we're paying them about fifty euros a game these days. Fifty! It takes absolutely no effort for these guys to overhype poop to the point they can spend twice the moneys on advertising poop 2.
Edit:
Now that I think about it, isn't it kinda weird that we're always paying the exact same amount for new games? I mean.. titles based on movies usually aren't in production for very long. By right Duke Nukem Forever should cost several thousand dollars a copy, it has been in production SO long.
Heh, it'll be like the Hoover dam. Twenty years from now they'll give guided tours to children at Gamestop and point at a shelf that has a dusty copy of Duke Nukem Forever on it. "Did you know twenty people DIED making that game? If you listen closely at night you can still hear them write code in vain on their ghostly keyboards."
