I'm sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

I'm pretty sure this is what he means. It's like first impressions with people. You only get one shot. Yes, you can improve the initial release to be playable and amazing but people will remember you put out a shit game to start with and that alienates people.
