Just more AAA bullshit...

And I'm sure a ton of gamers who will reward this behavior too.

What will stop them from claiming record numbers even if no one buys? And if a few people buy what stops them from simulating other players using clever AI so the few existing players think it is full? Simulate wait times, upgrade servers to support unexpected server overloads, etc. It's all about generating fake hype these days to sell stuff.
