Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch

This feels like cherry picking (there is probably a better pun in there). The sentiment I saw when the servers went down was overwhelming support for the Dev and the happiness than an indie game is doing with AAA games can’t; bring down steam.

Arn’t AAA preload useless since you still needs to re-download the entire game as day1 patch anyway?
I mean I almost never buy day1, and also sporadicaly even AA games. So bringing from what I read.

Purchasing and downloading are different services within Steam. You could update and download games just fine during that period. You just couldn‘t buy anything new for a while. And yes I have seen people complain about it on a Discord for example so there was a degree of frustration.

At that point it's just click bait then. the media loves to focus on a negative aspect of a generally positive thing to get people upset enough to give them attention. Thank you for the added perspective! I know this game has been super duper looked forward to by so many people and also wonderful that the devs made it at least somewhat affordable on launch. I would imagine they could have easily asked for 10 to 20$ more a copy and it still would have crashed the system.

Probably whiny gamers not interested in silk song that wanted to use the stores to play their games since you can’t do that with the majority of them
