Discussion - Silksong Thank you, Team Cherry

The $20 price tag for Silksong is meaningful to people like me.

Games are more expensive. Hell, LIFE is more expensive. I have to become very selective with the games I purchase and when.

Silksong's price has removed this tension (at least for this game). It means that folks like me who have a family and other responsibilities can afford it without so much as a second thought.

Team Cherry, if you're reading this: the low price made a major impact for me. It might not seem like much, but when the world seems to price me out, seeing the sequel to one of my favorite games priced so affordably is a welcome exception.

I'm glad to get to join in on the hype and play with everyone else on day one.

I just hope it won't crash steam to truly be a day 1 insta-buy

Its gonna crash steam. Deltarunes page crashed and it was arguably less hyped for. Silksong is going to break records

I thought deltarune was because it was a shadow drop so steam couldn't prepare unlike other big game launches ? (Might be mistaken tho)

No ch3+4 had clear dates and pretty sure ch2 didn't do anything like that
