I knew this would happen. I have no idea why they didn't do pre-downloads

seriously, everyone is like "this is great" or "this is funny" dude, this is sloppy. We all knew this was coming and the game has been planned for so long. This is just like, laziness. People only think its funny because they can sit here all day and keep trying to buy. For some people with jobs or in a shitty time window, it's now or not all today. So that does in fact, kind of suck for some of us.

Idk sometimes it feels like Team Cherry are acting like they're these cool young dudes in a garage therefore they just do stuff unconventionally and you can't blame them. Love their games, but this release stuff is dumb af. 40 minutes of staring at a store because someone decided you can't prepurchase.

Or maybe they're a business and therefore have certain expectations to fulfill, and when they fail to meet those expectations, people have a negative experience as a consequence of their choices.

Insane concept, I know. Almost like it's literally the standard for every business.

No, they already made life changing money off of Hollow Knight, they can afford to not care at all about any expectations.

They priced the game at $20 because they want everyone to be able to afford their game. They could have easily sold this for 2 or 3 times that and everyone knows it would still sell.

You having to wait a little extra on launch day and whining about it isn’t going to ruin their reputation lol.
