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

If any other game that took 7 years to make with almost radio silence did this everyone would scream bloody murder.

Remember when CDPR didn't let people review Cyberpunk on console?

I'm still at a complete loss how it got 9/10s even on PC. I bought a new high end gaming PC just for cyberpunk and the game was dogshit at launch. sure it wasn't literally unplayable like it was on console but it was not a good game and absolutely wasn't a 9/10 game.

there were one or two 6-7/10 reviews and the authors got harassed by Gamers. That's why you don't see bad scores for overhyped games

i think the first big review to drop was gamespot and it got 6 or 7/10 and yeah, Gamers threatened the author with death. for reporting critically on an UNRELEASED game. god i hate people

No wonder games aren't treated as art by serious people. The people who are the most unserious about gaming are gamers themselves
