You know what would have been the actual smart thing? To change your game's release date to September 4th once Silksong did. "Play our game instead if you're not a bitch."

Repost:
Without sufficient basis, this doesnt really mean anything, what is the evidence 7/10 games were cancelled, why is there no relative comparison to prior years. Or even prior months beyond september, to ground a frame of reference how truly uncommon this is.

And most importantly, why was this done now with zero frame of reference for what the expected steam releases were before Silksong was announced.

And theres even more to prod.

None of this is contexualized. Is that graph games released since September started, or games expected to release in September?

And finally: None of this matters because 90% of games released on steam are garbageware that shouldnt be released anyway.

There's nothing wrong with that if they learn the lore and understand what the game is about. Those people are the reason why Silksong will be a success and why they'll end up releasing more games or a third installment.

HK is just another bandwagon game. It's not terrible, it's just not t3h greetest thang evar!1
But insufferable losers have made it their entire personality which leads to endless shill threads and millions of sales to people who will never finish it but don't want to get banned off reddit for saying they didn't care for it.
When Silksong comes out and sells 10% of HK, there will be endless "why did it fail?" threads filled with seething HK lifers angry that their middling flash-tier art metroid isn't the most important game ever made.

I think the problem is that these "indie" game corps are not even indie and are just a corporate facade. Hence the marketing tactics we normally see with AAA devs.
True indie devs don't give a shit because it takes time for the game to get momentum.

That said, Cherry really is pushing the concept of "indie" pretty far now considering it's arguably a sizeable body corporate (at least with capital) now that it's arguably getting close to AAA. It just doesn't have the contractual tethers you normally see with AAA (they're called AAA for their credit rating if newfags don't get the term). But with that much money, you have to ask questions about whether they are really indie at this point. Surely they would have done shit to manage the tax issues better right? That's the point it becomes a AAA body corporate for me.

I don't know why Fromsoft have been considered non-AAA when they've been relying on credit ratings to float their ass for decades now.

You can beat it in like 15 hours it's not that long. Metroidvania are great binge games I beat them in 1 or 2 sittings.
