To be fair, I don't think legitimate gripes turning players away from a game is a "self fulfilling prophecy" more of a human reaction to do things that are more entertaining. Like not checking the refresh list for 3 hours in hope of playing a game I just paid 40$ for. Now I'm not looking for a refund, I paid money for an alpha and I get that. But I'm not going to feel bad if I stop playing because, well, this.
