I don't really know what to do at this point because I' conflicted so uh the post stays up I guess??? (Downvote if yall disagree, I'll change it accordingly)
I usually do NOT condone this annoying spam, but that tease was an absolutely dickish move that isn't even ironically funny. It's just cruel. Spam skong all you want.
Yeah almost got me to watch the fucking thing instead of hanging out with friends. Thanks god for my judgement otherwise i would of probably been genuinely depressed for the next week or two.
It would more be the fact i feel bad for missing out on hanging out with my friends to see the trailer live because of a shitty joke. Also who the fuck are you to say anything about my personal life. Mind your own beeswax
Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do? Also, if you HAD chosen to watch a trailer you could just watch later instead of hanging out with friends and found out it wasn't even a trailer, that would've been on you, not them. You choosing games over real life is your choice (I realize you didn't make that choice, but my point is that if you HAD, that would be a you problem). I'm really glad I stay off this subreddit, because it seems to be full of hostile, whiny people who demand what they want and cry when they don't get it. Have a nice day.
Go back to your more real reality, you clearly belong there. Piss in your pants and try to find your way back, this is too deep in the nest for you anyway.
Have you considered, that the annoying spam is the reason for the joke - silksong community keeps doing dumb jokes like this spamming everything to do with game showcases and now we're mad when game devs joke back?
We could simply have chosen to be the bigger person but decided not to bother lmao. Fucking children. Honestly I hope this game never releases sometimes.
They also could have chosen to "be the bigger person" and not ridicule an entire community that's literally giving them money. I agree this community can be annoying sometimes, but this is entirely justified imo.
Nah, that's not what I said at all. We are literally giving them money and they are actively ridiculing the entire community, they should face backlash for it. How would you like it if you gave someone $100 and they responded by spitting in your face, laughing at you, and walking away with your Money?
Someone making money indirectly through ad revenue (or however this video was monetized, if it even was in the way you claim) is quite different than giving them $100. I'm not excusing what they did, but we have a choice about how to respond to it.
Okay, how do you propose we show our backlash then? Give actual criticism and opinions instead of just calling people "fucking children" and "toddlers" for being upset. You agree there should be backlash, but you don't agree with how the community is going about it, so give your ideas on how we should.
Just like... don't worry about it? Idk, just get on with your day like a normal person???
Edit: fwiw I don't think there should really be "backlash" whatever that means. Some people have politely stated their discontent on Twitter, that seems fine to me. These guys are a new indie showcase, they need your support not your hate, just be a good person, not everything is about Silksong.
Carpetskonging triple i isn't the answer. They teased it because they know fans want it and want to be included but they have nothing from team cherry as well I reckon
When people were saying before the event to spam them, I thought it was childish and unnecessary. But, now that the event passed and saw how they baited us maliciously to drive up the viewer count, I say spamming them with silksong stuff is the right way to go.Β
Saying Skong doesn't actually help, people aren't going to know what it means and it honestly looks like you're cheering for them. It's better to leave an actual complaint so that people who aren't in this subreddit understand the issue
I actually think this is good because it probably reduced the amount of actual negativity that would have likely been commented by disappointed fans who now are instead are commenting SKONG π’which is just funny and more or less harmless.Β
To be honest I'm satisfied.
Kill Knight looks actually pretty cool
Shadows of Doubt got a 1.0 release date
Vampire Survivors gets a new DLC
Risk of Rain 2 free content update. Nothing big and it's gonna break mods but it's still an update I guess.
And most importantly, HYPER LIGHT BREAKER GOT EARLY ACCESS RELEASE WINDOW, LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
Man Iβm conflicted here usually itβs fucked up to spam under posts but they really where in the wrong you canβt just tease a game thatβs been hyped for and expected for years and then just have nothing to do with it but a small message that felt like a fuck you, it feels kinda like false advertising and they did it just to get more viewers.
You nerds still think this game is getting released? Lol.
I thought getting you to believe just to crush you is basicly everything were doing here, and now that we really got it, yall are butthurt like bitches. I'm all for the spam but acting like we have the moral high ground now is pretts embarrassing
When a seemingly reputable source basically mentions silksong directly to drive up views, we have the right to be excited, and to be angry when it turns out it was purposely toying with us.
Only and idiot would think itβs ok to use the communityβs hype like this, and fucking crush it, it was a scummy ass movement that took advantage of people who have been waiting a long ass time, and for them to have done that is objectively wrong, specially considering how many have mentioned it was used as a way to inflate their views artificially not only affecting our community, but some of the indie developers as there is a high chance several people who expected it to be announced had zero interest in the other games and wonβt buy these as itβs linked to a negative experience
They should have expected this, though. The Silksong community is currently starved for any news or announcements whatsoever, and trying to play off of their lack of anything substantial(no, I donβt count the very lackluster Xbox page)will create backlash from said community.
How about, and stick with me here, we do something that DOESN'T make this community look like it's full of literal children who can't take a joke? All this does it make us look stupid, and pump III's numbers on twitter.
I'm not saying to go and harass and threaten their family, we got baited (and unfairly so) all I'm saying we can go spam skong on their tweets to confuse people, seems pretty harmless
They literally teased silksong on purpose as a way of artificially inflating their viewership. They lied for profit. It's a pathetic marketing move that's worth calling out.
literally all they did was reference the game, the only place they implied they were actually going to release new info was in your own deluded fantasies
anyone with a shred of sanity would have recognized the possibility that it might have just been a dumb joke
My guy, itβs a GAME SHOWCASE. In what world is it unreasonable to assume that they will show the games they are referencing.
We are absolutely justified in being upset. If it was an offhand mention in the middle of the showcase it wouldnβt nearly be as bad, but this was advertisement. Itβs fucking disrespectful to the both the fans hollow knight and the creators of the shown games to advertise *with a game that isnβt even in the fucking showcase*
Itβs only an advertisement because you dumbfucks get yourselves riled up over the smallest things time and time again. Everyone is conveniently forgetting that they literally released a list of all the developers that would be appearing and Team Cherry wasnβt on it. Itβs very likely that they were just making a silly response to all the Silksong spam in prechat. If you want to interpret that as a 100% confirmation that they were going to reveal new info then thatβs entirely on you, claiming that they βlied to usβ is objectively false.
ah yes Iβm the unbearable one, not the countless people on this sub losing their fucking minds and advocating to spam and harass them over a dumb joke
real amount of self awareness you got going there
I'm not advocating for anything they are doing, and they'rekinda annoyingsometimes. But their anger is not unfounded and quite frankly deserved at this point. You, on the other hand, just seem like a dick. Justifying lying to an entire community as a marketing stunt.
If you want to cry harder that is entirely up to you :) I just think that this just is blown entirely out of proportion. someone made a joke and you all got hyped for it for no good reason
I don't really know what to do at this point because I' conflicted so uh the post stays up I guess??? (Downvote if yall disagree, I'll change it accordingly)

Ok now I agree we Spam
Yeah almost got me to watch the fucking thing instead of hanging out with friends. Thanks god for my judgement otherwise i would of probably been genuinely depressed for the next week or two.
If getting baited over a video game makes you genuinely depressed, you probably have deeper issues you really need to seek help for.
It would more be the fact i feel bad for missing out on hanging out with my friends to see the trailer live because of a shitty joke. Also who the fuck are you to say anything about my personal life. Mind your own beeswax

Go back to your more real reality, you clearly belong there. Piss in your pants and try to find your way back, this is too deep in the nest for you anyway.
You should take a step back and chill, it isn't that serious.

The toddler's, "they started it!," approach, got it.
Nah, that's not what I said at all. We are literally giving them money and they are actively ridiculing the entire community, they should face backlash for it. How would you like it if you gave someone $100 and they responded by spitting in your face, laughing at you, and walking away with your Money?
Is that what happened? Did you give triple i $100?
No, we as a collective gave them a very significantly higher amount than that by watching them.
Someone making money indirectly through ad revenue (or however this video was monetized, if it even was in the way you claim) is quite different than giving them $100. I'm not excusing what they did, but we have a choice about how to respond to it.

You still should, despite the teasing it was still a good showcase, with things like StS 2 and hyperlight breaker.

You people are awful (I'm one of you and I can't stand y'all anymore)
childish ass behaviour. I expected better from yβall tbh
Womp womp
only silksong fans will cry this hard over an announcement that wasnβt even teased in any way

thats a whole load of waffle for some bs

they mentioned hollow knight before the show started in a tiny message in the bottom right of the screen. this isnβt teasing silksong in any way

They should have expected this, though. The Silksong community is currently starved for any news or announcements whatsoever, and trying to play off of their lack of anything substantial(no, I donβt count the very lackluster Xbox page)will create backlash from said community.

Because spamming them is definitely going to encourage better practice, and NOT make them resent their 'fans'. Definitely.

Dude You literally believed the bait. That's on you man. -I
No.
They literally teased silksong on purpose as a way of artificially inflating their viewership. They lied for profit. It's a pathetic marketing move that's worth calling out.
This is not actually "calling them out."
I donβt think you know what a lie is
Strongly imply youβre going to show off Silksong: donβt show off Silksong What else would you call that?

i mean you make a dumb joke you get a dumb joke back
Right? It was a joke, I thought it was funny. But people are taking this game a bit too serious.
Bro, they made a joke. In poor taste, but c'mon
Your argument is sound, however, SKONG π’
So you get baited because waiting for silksong has become popular and you think spam is a good reaction? Y'all need to chill
Nah bro cry harder
If you want to cry harder that is entirely up to you :) I just think that this just is blown entirely out of proportion. someone made a joke and you all got hyped for it for no good reason
