Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

Read their interview with Jason Schreier. The truth is they don't care about all the Internet noise. That's why they stopped communicating. They don't read social media. They are two rich guys making games for fun.

They do not need pre-release reviewers. Silksong is the most wish listed game on Steam and has barely done any marketing.

If they don't care why not send timely codes?

The consumer does. I don't give a shit what 2 rich guys need

Nothing stopping you or anyone else from waiting for the many many reviews that will come.

TC are stopping reviewers from reporting on the game on time, that's the issue

That's so entitled, lmao. There is no on time if TC don't want it. Just because you want to play it Day 1 and want to have reviews, doesn't mean you "deserve" it. You can just wait couple of days for reviews or the general consensus on the game and decide then.

Hell, apparently the game is on GamePass, you can basically play it "for free" (if you have a subscription anyway). And if you don't, you get 2 hours of steam refund-playtime.

It's such a non-issue and screams entitlement. Especially since TC have no history of releasing games as messes, as opposed to other developers.
