To be fair, there wasn’t really much “gaming news” in existence back then. One only heard about game flops when it became so notable that regular news picked it up as was the case when E.T. and well the whole existing console industry when Atari imploded.

My local beer place told me that its distributor can’t get any more Unibroue beer now. We don’t deserve their glorious beer given our bullshit, but it still sucks.
