Bloodborne hype is dangerous. It raises expectations, strains patience, and makes release dates perpetually feel 500 miles away. Hype is a double-edged sword, bolstering pre-orders while risking letdowns of epic proportions.
But hype, if you were not aware, is also dangerous to your health. That’s right. It could actually kill you. How? That’s a great question… that we’re not legally licensed to answer.
What we CAN do, though, is show you a disturbing trend of what seemse to be Bloodborne fans literally dying mid-hype. Just look at these disturbing last messages.
Some simply vanish mid-tweet, likely grabbed by a beast
I MIGHT BE GETTING BLOODBORNE TMRW EARLY IM SO

Others disappear with a blood-curddling scream, also likely dragged away by a beast

Some manage to leave extremely literal last message before the beast nabs them

And some don’t even need a dangerous beast to do the dirty work
Canceled a lifesaving surgery I was supposed to undergo on Tuesday because Bloodborne. I feel good about it. Well, not physically.

Anyone else who hasn’t been attacked by a beast likely looks like this.
