No one left uncured.
I got you.
I'm just mad that the one conference I skipped turned out to have loving Silksong

Xbox reaching out to them isn't the most shocking thing in the world - platforms would naturally love to partner up with a dev with this kind of a reputation - but I always figured Nintendo had them sewn up after the Treehouse reveals. I guess not. Sony were never going to go for it because Sony are in the haughty and arrogant phase of their generational cycle, while MS loves getting indies on Game Pass.

The maximum comedy option would've been an Epic Games Store exclusive although that would've burned a lot of Kickstarter backers.

I’m glad for everyone that needed reassuring but I think at this point I’m going to ignore everything Silksong until it’s in my hands

Easy day one purchase. Hollow Knight (at least with the free DLC) is absolutely worth $70.

Isn’t Silksong supposed to be a Kickstarter DLC for backing it originally?

Yes it was listed as "second playable character" but they ended up deciding to give her her own game.

Yeah remember their credentials didn't really get boosted until Hollow Knight. Before then they didn't really have much of a track record to go off of.

Lol, they should release Zote as DLC and all you get is his piddly attacks that you see in the Trial of the Fools arena. And yet people would still find a way for him to beat the game, path of pain, and all the Pantheon challenges.

Bought it on PC at launch, couldn’t get very far

Bought it on PlayStation a year later and really enjoyed it this time but only got halfway in before bailing.

Bought it on Nintendo Switch a year later and suddenly it’s my favorite game of the generation and I beat it and beat the dlc and optional super-side bosses and then played it again. Something about the portability let me play Hollow Knight on my own terms and that really kicked the game into overdrive for me.

Similar story. I got it on PC and played enough to beat it with the worst ending. Got it on Switch and played through all endings and did a lot of the optional stuff.

I'm gonna assume that was basically the idea for his stretch goal in the first place.

Somewhat similar, I got it cheap in a Steam sale and finished it there, then bought it on everything else I have when it was released on those platforms. PS4/5 is my preferred platform though.

I also bought the physical collectors edition when that got released.

Pretty sure I never would have paid full price even for one copy without trying it first though.

Interesting to see an arms race to snatch up these popular Indy games for your subscription service. Nintendo announced that they got Stardew Valley:

Edit: ah poo poo, it’s just a week long demo, nevermind. It’s not like what Microsoft did with Hollow Knight.
