Silksong is fun game and so far strongest candidate for GOTY. Would game sell as much is it did with price higher then 20, for sure not, but for that price you get a lot of fun and not a single game released this year can come close to it. Also to OP, game didnt send any message to anything. Its the price and over hype before release (for some strange reason they hyped the game like crazy). If it was 50e, not even going to say 60 or more, game would sell around Dustborn numbers.

lol you guys keep making me change the thread title. First it was “Silksong is a generation defining moment” and then “Silksong sends a power message to the industry.” Hmm…maybe “Silksong speaks a powerful message about the industry” is the best route, because it objectively does. It speaks to the importance fo affordability in a market where prices only ever go up, it speaks to the importance of quality and passion over being the big new shiny AAA game, etc. If it was $50 and hadn’t sold much anything, then that would’ve also served as a powerful message about the industry, emphasizing the importance of affordability over, say, $1,000 hardware.

And, everyone, I would appreciate if you could read the “meat” of the OP instead of solely looking at the title. Yeah, I’m not communicating myself very well with that title, I’ve already changed it three times lol. Thank you!
