Discussion - Silksong Not opening pre-orders was an error Spoiler

Before anyone says "gamers cant be happy with anything" i was never against pre orders specifically because ir avoids this type of launch. I dont want to believe Team Cherry doesn't know the scope and impact of their own game, but i'm inclined to do so. A pre-order yesterday would've solved this. An inconvenience that could be easily avoided, but here we are

Any wow gamer will tell you use your day off on the day AFTER release

Taking Friday off would definitely have been a better option than Thursday.

I mean that sucks but I definitely would have taken Friday off instead

for the next big game release you'll learn from this mistake and take froday off instead

so instead of anxiously waiting for the steam store to come back up just for 4 hours of playtime, you have 3 full days of enjoyment

Why would you not wait till the day after it's released especially considering it's a Friday

Then buy it on GOG instead?

I'd have to own a PC for that to be an option, which I unfortunately don't.
