I think at a certain point we need to accept that this isn’t sustainable.
And by “this” I mean money flowing directly into the pockets of the rich. People would very much hedge £30 on a game if they didn’t need to budget so much of that money to pay off megacorps. And devs could easily live of £20 per sale if they didn’t need to pay part of their profits to those megacorps.
Sorry for going all Redditlemmy “grr capitalism”, but that’s the issue here and all this Silksong “drama” is just a smokescreen.

Silksong is $20. Stardew Valley is $15 (and getting yet another free update soon). There are a lot of great indie games out there that won’t break the bank and are made by creators who have a passion for what they do.

I thought it already had its final update

We’ve had the final update, yes. But what about second final update?

Don’t think it was ever mentioned it’d be final. Just that they’d be more focused on their other game’s development and not to expect any more until it was finished.
Anyhow - the dev has recently mentioned an update is coming.

Sure, but what about its final (1) update?
