This is misuse as it's about fans praising the work so highly general audiences think it doesn't measure up, not prerelease expectations. If widely seen as disappointing by fans they're not hyping it so not this.

"Praise Backlash" would be a better name. Thoughts?

Would probably need TRS for that.

"The current generation" violates Examples Are Not Recent — it should be worded so that it's still valid when the ninth generation is no longer current.

The entry contains a lot of adjectives that hype up how big this example is, while hiding the fact that it tells us very little. What content was promised and not delivered?

We should just get rid of the example then. It tells us nothing.

I intend to remove this as misuse (HB is the final products being praised such many find it overblown, not prerelease hype) on top of it's other issues. Any objections?

Overshadowed by Controversy sounds like the better fit once the 6 month wait is up. Anything else it could fit?

Yeah cut it for being misuse. Sounds more like Overshadowed by Controversy to me.

Forspoken was being mocked for its dialogue long before its release and never really had a die-hard fanbase, its lackluster reception was very expected. I don't think it fits Hype Backlash.
