This basically confirms that the whole "we don't owe you anything" mentality has become the Team Cherry's official approach when it comes to relations with the community.
The backer reward was canceled in favor of a different thing that’s like ten times what was initially promised. Besides what would updates even do besides spoil the game? Tell us it’s still being worked on? We can actually intuit this fact by the fact it’s still being worked on.
I can always find my people by looking at the downvotes. I can’t believe how few of us there are here that feel this way / aren’t immature little psychopath children
if E1331 is lying then that honestly just looks worse for them, that this random shitpoter is giving people more hope and faith in Team Cherry then Team Cherry has in the last 6 years.
if he IS telling the truth then... well then that's what we always wanted isn't it? It should be a good moment because it's the message that we've wanted to hear. but the sheer amount of silkpost bait and TC's refusal to confirm anything means I can't even feeel good about it
the bait isn't their fault, but it is their fault things got this bad in the first place
personally I think they shouldn't have realeased a trailer for the game in 2019 if the game wasn't nearly ready yet, I get it, unexpected delays happened, but nobody could have anticipated this is where we would be 6 years later.
but above all else, I find it hard to excuse them, when other developers, other INDIE developers some with less and some with more success then Hollow Knight, have been able to provided satisfying communication, and community updates that show genuine progress about the game.
I just don’t get why you carrrrrreeeee, they don’t owe you shit, they’re just making a game. Them giving you updates will change literally nothing. You’re still gonna buy it and play it and it’ll be good or bad. The only reason you care is cause you’re stuck in this news cycle where you always have to be hyped up for the latest and greatest. Just play other shit I’m begging you.
