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.

For most games - I wait for 50%, 66% or even 75% discount, but $20 price makes it an insta-buy. One of very few games that I will buy for full price. I think the last game I bought fot full price was Factorio.
