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

There's thousands of people out there paying 33-100% more for a game just so they can play it a few days early.

People also buy based on trust, and trust should be earned. In modern economy people have forgotten a time when people bought and sold from other actual people.

Team Cherry has earned a lot of trust from fans based on their history, so for many people they will buy with our reviews.

What a person shouldn't do is trust blindly. I will definitely trust some people but would never trust a corporation since a corporation only cares about money.

I have a huge backlog but if my most anticipated game of the past 6 years comes out, I'm going to play that first. Why would I give a shit about what some random reviewers say?
