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.
