I, personally, don't have any idea what this "most anticipated game" could be, so that 'joke' fell particularly flat.

Next Tuesday is the release of Patch 5.4. Intimating that no one would be playing it in a week is, in that context, disparaging at the least.

The post came off as "who cares about the Starlight Celebration? There aren't going to be players next week, so why bother?"

Not the intention of the poster, by their own words. After the fact.
