Silksong's Surprise Release: A Callous Move?
Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, the creative director of Hell is Us, critiques the surprise release of Hollow Knight: Silksong as callous. He argues that such sudden announcements can negatively impact competing titles, including his own. This perspective raises questions about marketing ethics in the gaming industry. - The timing of releases should consider the broader ecosystem. - Surprise drops may create excitement but can also alienate developers. Balancing competition and community should be a priority for publishers. In an age of information overload, transparency is crucial. Ultimately, the industry must navigate these challenges to foster a healthier environment.
