A phenomenon in which a video game, movie, or other piece of media that was never intended to be perfect gets hyped up as such by its fan community, causing those diving in to have far too lofty expectations. This is followed first by disappointment when it fails to be perfect, then by backlash against the fans who hyped it up - and, inevitably, the game itself. This results in a cycle where the "fans" and "haters" become distinct groups who get increasingly vocal and vicious with each other, debates over its contents become less rational and more personal, until eventually all legitimate discussion about the original subject becomes impossible.
