Except for GOG. Way to go Poland!
Another win for GOG? DRM free and their servers didn't crash.
Although it is sad to see that people don't buy enough from GOG for them to crash.. I guess people like their DRM.
it is sad to see that people don't buy enough from GOG for them to crash.
- Several people reported problems with GOG, it's just not listed in OP for some reason.
- Every platform scales their servers to their userbase so even if GOG had a dozen users they could still crash the servers by all downloading at the same time.

Huh, Silksong is out now. Maybe it's time I played the first Hollow Knight?
Personally I hate it.
Just keep in mind that not everyone likes it and the fanbase likes to suppress criticism.
So buyer beware, and keep an eye on you're play time. If you're not enjoying it in the first 2 hours, feel free to return it if you're playing on Steam, like with any game
Shit, I got downvoted the other day for calling it overrated. I did get it confused with Silksong, just because it's been talked about to fucking death on the internet, but even still.
Probably not overrated, you (maybe) just think so because you personally don't like the games. The amount of people excited for it and loving it justify the hype I think.

It's a fun game. People rave about it as if it's a masterpiece, but it didn't change my life or anything. Just go in expecting it to have a difficulty curve and some odd design choices.
It’s a platformer. It’s not supposed to change you as a person
I'm saying that because of the way people talk about it. Like you said, it's a platformer. It's not some grand masterpiece combining art and gameplay and philosophy into an experience like no other, but damn if people don't put it on a pedestal.

Average corporate slop vibe coded web services vs weakest two man 7 year in development side project
I'm not really sure what you think is gained by treating the hard work of talented coders as "weak" or "a side project". Small teams dream of making something like HK. These are hall-of-fame level devs that will be remembered for ages. They deserve more respect than that.
It’s just a meme format to say indie devs are better than corporate studios. Not the best choice for this context, I would have gone with the “who would win” meme: corporate studios with millions of dollars vs two guys with 7 years and some free time.
Downdetector was bought out by Ookla? When?
About a year ago, we started seeing that "this app is depreciating" warning and sure enough, snatched up. But it does still work for now.
Lycamobile? Do they actually provide games? I only know them as a cheap prepaid SIM card provider lol
Maybe soo many people using their data at once? Seems crazy though, likely just people who are trying to load steam store, etc through their phone on data and it doesn't load, so they blame their data connection wrongly
AAA games could never
It's probably something mundane like AAA releases come with more preparation for peak traffic.

This is prove that direct downloads are ancient deprecated methods of delivery. P2P your releases.

I have missed the turn where lycamobile became a gaming platform 🤔
Yep, I'm STILL waiting for Steam to start working again. Been refreshing the pages for almost 3 hours, and have gotten as far as the payment screen!
Bought it no problom on gog, been playing for 2 hours now. Also, drm free.
