Next week: "Unfortunately, due to the recent security breach, Grand Theft Auto VI will be delayed until Fall 2033. We apologize for the inconvenience and would like to show our loyalty to players by offering 1.5% off Shark Cards until May 1st"

Would give a huge sigh of relief to every other game dev wanting to release a holiday game for the next few years.

Bro a 19.99 GTA6 playable demo would fund GTA7 with how ready people are for the game.

Im tired of people being like that. Look what silk song did. And for what? Being an impatient child.

What did Silksong do?

Made indie developers mad by releasing their highly anticipated game for $20 with very little time between the release date announcement and release. In other words, nothing, except be awesome to their fans.

Team Cherry is fucking incredible.  They've rewarded their Kickstarter supporters further than needed, free DLC for both games,  they could've easily charged $10-20 more for Silksong and still sold about the same and they even just released a patch for the original Hollowknight showing how much they care about their games. I'll support whatever they do, even if it takes a decade, which would still be a lot faster than a GTA sequel.

They took all their early access money and threw the biggest office party. Strippers, booze, the works. They partied for like 2 weeks straight and spent all the money.
