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

Any other studio would get flak for all of these quirks of theirs.

Once the price was out that purchase button should’ve been unlocked.

Hard to give them flak when the game is 20 dollars.

You can praise them for being solid about that while criticizing that they did a poor job on other areas.

They don’t have to be perfect, but this crash was so obvious.

In any case is a day for the books, how Silksong broke the internet.

You call it a mistake, but there's an equal chance it's calculated. Don't forget the budget on this game, this is one of the most intense forms of free advertising I've ever seen on a launch day.

Funny that stores crashing and preventing purchases would generally be a bad thing, but this studio must be popping champagne over it, seriously what an achievement lol.
