Atari released a similar game on the same day as Silksong (Adventure of Samsara) and it had only 12 concurrent players on Steam.

Oops ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I think that game is getting more coverage because it did release on the same day as silk song. I didn't even know Atari was working on this and now I've heard about it in several articles.

It very much was a ploy. No day one hype at all, but maybe there will be a larger market over time because of the coverage.
