As you also just said though plans can change and they did announce their announcement at Gamescom. It could've went the same way with Xbox's event

I mean it happened during gamescom but it wasn't at gamescom itself.

still cannot emphasize enough how little all of this matters. 3 dudes should not have to shoulder the weight of the industry off the back of a 57k AUD kickstarter 11 years ago.

speaking as someone who plays a ton of games and doesn't just spend time bitching about them online : there's like 10+ games that come out a day now. nobody has all the time in the world to play all these games. if it wasn't silksong it would be another high profile game. misplaced anger.

I don't think they're angry tbh, just expressing some frustration i mean it's not like they're calling Team Cherry evil and horrible. They definitely didn't have bad intentions, just kept their heads down and made something they loved.

regardless of whether they're angry or not, still absolutely unrealistic expectations. if it wasn't silksong, their games would still be at the mercy of a potential new trend, sleeper indie or whatever. the industry sucks, if you want to scream online scream at the big corpos, at least

Okay so here's a thought experiment to go through. Say Expedition 33 came out in the past two weeks since Silksong was dated. And ready for release big indie darling this year. Do you think it gets even a fraction of attention it's gotten with Silksong's media specter hanging over it.

here's a thought experiment *farts loudly* get a following and promote games that you think deserve more of a spotlight idk be the change you want to be. i don't care about all this garbage talk that is purely hypothetical conjecture on the internet

That would make you pretty annoyed right. I'm not angry at Team Cherry they're fine I'm more annoyed with the deification and lionization that makes them seem like they are infallible and couldn't have done better.

I definitely agree people deify them. TC did earn their success and fanfair at least, and I'm glad to see them succeed again. I think we can all agree we're getting a lot of really good games at least, indie or AA.

Yeah, I think it's fairly reasonable we've had a much stronger year this year than last that's for sure

It was playable at Gamescom at the Nintendo booth that's how people learned it was 120fps on SW2. That stuff isn't an accident it's smart marketing.

I don't think they're selfish though, just doing things how they're used to.
