  Also on GOG. DRM-free and presumably without the server issues.

    Bought it on GOG. I like actually owning things.

      You don’t own anything on GOG. You only have revocable licenses. This is explicitly stated in their terms of services.

    And without regional pricing.

      Regional pricing can be a good thing at times, they ate generally beneficial to lower currency value countries.

  You’d think these big companies would learn to anticipate these high loads and proactively increase capacity but hey

    The Steam Store has gone down every time they do a major sale for over a decade or something. They don’t care about these temporary problems, because they are just that, temporary. Increasing the server capacity for like an hour or something is just not worth it (most likely).

      I guess I forgot that companies don’t give a shit about the consumer experience

  never played hollow knight, is it worth picking up for my ps5…

    I’d say get Hollow Knight first, just because you can probably get it cheaper. After you’re done with that, and you like it, get Silksong. It’s very unlikely if you don’t like one you’ll like the other or vice versa, the games are pretty similar, and they have a couple of things that could be called “polarizing” (like the map).

    Unless you want to be part of the “current discussion”, exploring the still new game, maybe you have friends who also play, and you can talk about things you find, then get Silksong.
