$20 *before regional pricing*. Some places can get it as low as $8, which I imagine only is only adding fuel to the fire.

Apon further investigation I do believe that this "Silk song" item being refrenced in a games community might in fact be a video, uh, game. For people confused, video games are programs you can play on a device that has graphics, sound, and input devices. Otherwise known as "the nintendo".

It's probably something mundane like AAA releases come with more preparation for peak traffic.

I like to play Nintendo on my PC.

Thanks chat gbt

This but unironically

This is prove that direct downloads are ancient deprecated methods of delivery. P2P your releases.

*3 people (used to be 4). Not that that's less impressive. It's just worth it to be accurate.

Isnt one of them exclusively doing art?

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.

Are you suggesting that's not part of game development?

My new hobby will be talking about factual things as if they are uncertain.

Didn't you hear? Artists have been obsoleted by AI, so we don't have to treat them as humans anymore.

Not that obvious. I didn't know what Silksong was until around 80 minutes ago.

From what I hear, that applies equally to coders.

Publishers would still have to distribute authentication keys directly, no? That would cause the same problem here.

I didn't say it was obvious, only that it was factual. There was no doubt what the term was referring to once you learn the context.

Isnt that part of making a game, not of developing a game?

Bought it. Found no easy mode for a dumbass like me. Refunded. Not Team Cherry's fault. Looked like a great game, but unfortunately not for me. I really wished they added some easy mode, but it's their decision.

"Easy mode" aka "game journalist mode"
