IGN noted that Silksong’s surprisingly low price thrilled players, but some indie devs fear it could set unrealistic expectations for other games. What do you think? (lemmy.world)

It's also a price point where people will buy it on an impulse, play for a few hours and think they got their money's worth. Leave good reviews and tell their friends about it.

I hope they sell 10 million copies as well, and quite frankly wish they had some sort of tip jar where people could donate $5 or $10 more to support the devs if they think it's worth it.

Buy the OST and/or a copy to your friends and family. The possibilities are endless.
