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

Disregard the down votes and comments. Your question is an honest one from anyone who hasn't read gaming news or is a techy. I'm not sure why everyone responding feels the need to, you know, not just answer your question. In most programs, games or otherwise, there are "programmers", often called "developers" that write code. But the overall "development" of said program is done by the whole team. So making and developing mean the same thing here.

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.

> Every platform scales their servers to their userbase so even if GOG had a dozen users they could still crash the servers by all downloading at the same time. I mean if they had a dozen users, it'd likely be because they're just starting out, in which case they'd likely anticipate growth and have enough resources for a few thousand users. Nobody wants to botch the launch of a new platform.

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.

I tried playing Hollow Knight. But I couldn't even beat Mother Gruz, despite trying more than a few times. I gave up in the end. I understand that the problem lies with me. But, I really wanted to experience the world. What is the point of process, if it inevitably leads to frustration?I can sympathize with that. I've put down my fair share of games when it just gets too frustrating, even games I was otherwise enjoying. I think a lot of people come at soulslikes with the wrong approach, hence the comment, but for some it just won't click. Unfortunately not all games are for all people. We all have games like that.

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 game

Honestly I understand. People watch movies too, and that's very easy mode. But yeah, you'll probably want to stay away from anything labeled "soulslike" then. I haven't played Hollow Knight, but these games are typically about perfecting your skill and tactics by dying repeatedly> your skill and tactics by dying repeatedly Personally, this is more generous than I'd call it

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

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.

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.

Shit, 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.I think it's just that bad metroidvanias are the standard and there arent as many of the good ones as you would think. 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.
