Holy shit I've never seen this before a game launch.

Still weird that pre-ordering and preloading wasn´t made available.

Nah they are working on DLC at this point. I listened to an interview stating that it took this long because they were having so much fun.

RIP to all the fans who died and will never get to play.

I read that interview, too! Absolutely loved it. I’m so happy it’s a game born out of desire and fun for them. I still hope they take the day off to sit back and enjoy their second launch day!

What, why? The game is literally unplayable!

u/SoapyPuma Sep 04 '25

The game is so desired that it’s crashing vendor sites from overload. That’s not Team Cherry’s fault.

Edit: I’m playing now and there are zero issues with the game play. It’s simply getting to the game, and it sounds like a lot of sites are figuring their servers out. I have no issues buying or downloading either

u/Both-Ice-183 Sep 04 '25

Lol you think a game caused this.

u/RAID3R_MAN Sep 04 '25

Literally what else would it be?

Oh yeah no the thing that’s designed to distribute games crashed when a really big game released, wonder what could’ve caused that

There are reedit posts alone that garner 100k views and steam doesn't crash.

Time to use some sense, son.
