What if one unreleased game could change the entire industry? Silksong isn’t just a highly anticipated sequel, it’s a phenomenon that’s reshaping expectations, timelines, and game development. Today we explore the ‘Silksong Effect’ and how one game’s legendary delay is leaving its mark on the games industry
Saw a headline mentioning developers moving bavk their games to not compete with Silk Song’s and was like “wow that’s crazy for an indie game” but then they were all also indie games I hadn’t even heard of.
Tho, it was funny seeing the Silk Song dev be told this and going “What? Why?” 🤣

It’s the single most wishlisted game on Steam (including AAA games), which is pretty crazy
It’s done when it’s done. IT managers need to learn this, or get something more technical than an MBA.
That is quite literally how you get Star Citizen.
Sweet success? The game isn’t even out yet and the journalists are already glazing it? Oh brother.
I don’t think the game is going to be bad, but come on.
Did you watch the video? Laura is talking about a different kind of success.
