>"When you know you're that big, I think a shadow drop is a bit like – wow," said Jacques-Belletête on Skill Up's Friends Per Second podcast. "As the 'GTA 6 of indie'... to shadow drop something like this is a little callous."

>After Team Cherry's announcement, the Hell is Us development team discussed with publisher Nacon whether to change the date. "It was a real thing," said Jacques-Belletête.

>However, the "real pain in the ass", Jacques-Belletête explained, is that changing release date means refunding pre-orders. And while that wasn't a deciding factor, the team believed they could weather the storm.

>Still, Jacques-Belletête admitted Silksong's release did impact the launch of Hell is Us. "I don't have any specific numbers,"he said, "at least not at this time. But for sure it did."

That $20 cheap Whorenet has claimed another life.

Shame. HIU is the best soulslike since Dark Souls 1 with an incredible story. Just needed more enemy variety. Now there won't be any DLC because of unfair pricing from Team Cherry.

You're supposed to pay for ads.

Good. No one wants to play this dog shit. Thats the real problem.

Haters gonna hate.

Souls fatigue is real

Why didn't the retard delay it then?
Everyone knew Silksong was going to be a black hole of player attention.

>>720758112
Silksong is a soulslike tho

?
why should i care when you think i should release my game.

>>720758112
Silksong is 2d Elden Ring.

>>720757836 (OP)
>Other game ruined muh sales
Wat. If your game is good, people will come around to it. Silksong is a fairly short and cheap game anyway. This is pathetic.

The players don't overlap, people playing Hollow Knight slop are gaming nerds obsessed with gaming, no normie is going to buy this garbage sidescroller with generic gameplay and amateur graphics

People play hell is us are mostly normies that are looking for good graphics, nice story and characters, none of those things are in hollow knight, in fact, they are mostly missing

>soulslop wonder why his game flop

>my dogshit game didn't sell well and it's someone else's fault

I mean- it's not Team Cherry's fault that HiU failed to entice the likes of me (soulslike enjoyer). I haven't bought Silksong either.

sorry but hell is us is really fucking boring
I loved the atmosphere but it's fucking boring running around from point to point trying to remember what little thing you collected needed to go to some random shmuck in a drop den

the combat was okay, it ran decently
but I don't think it's worth full price

>>720758587
hollow knight is way more soulsslop than hell is us indietroon lmao

I have never heard of ths game, might pick it up for $20. What's the price?

Bro you know thats not true

Only the niche freaks will play Hell Is Us
Fucking /v/ is the only one that actually bothered talking about the game when it came out and people still clowned on it

BROOOO YOU CANT JUST RELEASE YOUR GAME WHEN ITS DONE WHAT THE FUCK MAN

>Wat. If your game is good, people will come around to it.
Yeah just like when Half-Life killed the much better Thief and Unreal

>>720757836 (OP)
people are bored of souls slop

>This game is HARDCORE.
>Real gamers only.
>No map.
>No help.
>No hope.
>Quality of life? Pussy shit.

I respect it but it's pretty obvious why it's "selling poorly".

>>720757983
>find out about new game from OP
>fpbp warns me it's just another souls copycat
/thread

>>720757836 (OP)
>If that game didn't come out everybody would've bought mine
A bold claim

How can they even determine how it affected sales?
Do they have a control group somewhere that didn't get Silksong announced so they can compare sales to a non-Silksong-release world?

I avoided this game entirely because it runs on UE5, I don't touch anything that uses that engine unless it's made by like, Korean devs or something.

why did nobody tell me theres zelda dungeons in this bitch?
game is underappreciated

>>720757836 (OP)
>is that changing release date means refunding pre-orders.
Nani the fuck?

No it doesn't. It means you update customers with "this is the new date, you will get the game then. Your pre-order is still the same price and still saved."

I'm "ignore this"-ing this on Steam just because of the sheer brain damage.
