Silksong was developed by two people and the launch has crashed every gaming platform

"Easy mode" aka "game journalist mode"And here we have the "git gud' sycophant. Go crawl back into whatever hole you came from

Personally I hate it. Just keep in mind that not everyone likes it and the fanbase likes to suppress criticism. So buyer beware, and keep an eye on you're play time. If you're not enjoying it in the first 2 hours, feel free to return it if you're playing on Steam, like with any gameShit, I got downvoted the other day for calling it overrated. I did get it confused with Silksong, just because it's been talked about to fucking death on the internet, but even still.

This is the reason why pre-purchases are a thing. The whole thing could have been less severe if the game was available for purchase with preloading some days earlier.You're getting downvoted, but this is literally the positive use case for it. I don't buy new games much, but when I do I "pre-order" the day before so I can download it early and get whatever other incentives there are. Reviewers getting early copies means you can have everything you reasonably need to know to make an informed decision about whether a game is worth buying. It's of course true that they can change the game between the early copies and release, but then having it downloaded early also means you can refund it sooner if necessary and get on with your life. Some games rely more on multiplayer or live service, but those are the sorts of games it's worth waiting for community feedback after release anyway.

Can you give an example? I'm assuming we're looking for something that works on Linux using Steam or some other store, but not using GOG - either directly or through lutris/proton. That might clear up what's being asked.

It implicitly praises Silksong for being popular, but it is also just relevant news for people interested in gaming. Someone who doesn't know or care about Silksong might still like to know that various store platforms were down recently and why.

I'm not really sure what you think is gained by treating the hard work of talented coders as "weak" or "a side project". Small teams *dream* of making something like HK. These are hall-of-fame level devs that will be remembered for ages. They deserve more respect than that.It’s just a [meme format](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/strongest-man-vs-weakest-man) to say indie devs are better than corporate studios. Not the best choice for this context, I would have gone with the “who would win” meme: corporate studios with millions of dollars vs two guys with 7 years and some free time.

So the joy of a good one gets pretty hyped. Im not sure its overrated since its a good game and rated at about what that entails just over hyped and concentrated on.

If you wanted to be tagged as a steam fanboy just say so
The only feature GOG doesn't have that Steam has is the workshop, but they have all the rest like savegame cloud sync etc.Another one: steam has some sort of multiplayer integration for devs, so they don't need to host their own servers and you don't need to expose ports; instead you can add people using your steam friends. Found this out to my sadness when I bought risk of rain 1 on Gog and the multiplayer was completely gutted compared to my friend who bought on steam. -
It's a fun game. People rave about it as if it's a masterpiece, but it didn't change my life or anything. Just go in expecting it to have a difficulty curve and some odd design choices.

Downdetector was bought out by Ookla? When?

Development is more than writing code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_developmentI do think it's a grey area. Like, if one person on a three person team is exclusively doing art for the game, would they count as a developer moreso than if the two person team contracted out the artwork to separate company? Or would the other company be considered as a developer?

Im not sure its overrated since its a good game and rated at about what that entails just over hyped and concentrated on.Like rougelites they sorta suffer from being one of the more accessible game types with regards to development time and effort. I loved the original Hallow Knight but I like platformers like that. I will say though there there has not really been a stand out in the genera as of late which is also contributing to the popularity.

What do you mean by "no features"? I use GOG to buy games, that's it. What other features does a game shop need? Serious question.
-
Yeah I don't understand these takes. Did Fortnite or COD "change your life" or are they just popular games.
