silksong, honey...... a 80 hour game does not belong in the $20 price category...... us indies with 20 hour games really need that space for healthy expectations...

fwiw i do believe that games shouldn't be valued solely on their runtime, but "80 hour game" was just shorthand for describing the scope & budget of silksong. i so wholly envy team cherry quietly making their game for 7 years without any financial pressure. who wouldn't want that??

I knew it was going to be "a steal," (like figurative theft) given Hollow Knight was $15, but was so smugly confident in my $25 prediction. The race to the bottom continues apace!

"race to the bottom" describes exactly how it feels unfortunately 😔

FWIW, the effect Team Cherry has succeeding at scale like this is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to just about any other free to play or loss leader game sales strategy out there. Once upon a time Minecraft was worth $15, and then became $60 worth of game over time. A rough road we're on.
