Why do you care so much about someone deciding not to buy a game as a result of this? I would say if someone who planned to buy the game decided not to because of this it makes an impact on that person.

That person gets asked by a friend why they didn't pre-order. they tell them. that friend who didn't know now knows. it spreads.

you are not the judge of what is and isn't impactful. or what does and doesn't matter.
