Gamers buy stuff for reasons like this because so many of them have disposable income committed to a game a week regardless of the game's quality. By calling everyone on GAF out, he gets a shot at selling more games and who knows how much his publisher is committing to the marketing? Maybe he needs whatever interest he can get just to make some people pony up their dough?
It's certainly the Derek Smart method of game marketing.
i'm almost inclined to suspect this, if dyack himself didn't seem so hyperwrought and douche-y over the whole shebang. it would at least explain why his handler didn't step in at the ten minute mark and say "oookay, good interview, thanks everyone, buy too human! denis needs to take break!"
at the very least, i expect this explanation to be denis' new self-aggrandizing vector after too human is released and the backlash rumbles on.
