Am I the only one enjoying the recent increase in “shadow” launches? I really appreciate not having to wait months or years or decades (looking at you Bethesda) after first hearing about a game.
Didn't see that coming

That’s actually hilarious that you mention this in regards to Silksong, which was first stated to be in development so long ago that people thought it was never going to release. It’s actually a prime example of having to wait years and years after announcement to get any updates.

Yeah, it was literally announced in February 2019. We’ve had to wait over 6 years for it.

And look how much happier I am for not hearing about it back then! 😂

So apparently they announced this in a trailer a couple weeks ago? How the hell did I miss that?!

I don’t follow it closely but wasn’t it at/connected to Gamescom? So a couple of days, not weeks?
Or was Gamescom a couple of weeks ago already?

Not sure, somehow I heard nothing about it until today!
