Another win for GOG? DRM free and their servers didn't crash.
Although it is sad to see that people don't buy enough from GOG for them to crash.. I guess people like their DRM.

*3 people (used to be 4). Not that that's less impressive. It's just worth it to be accurate.

Average corporate slop vibe coded web services vs weakest two man 7 year in development side project
I'm not really sure what you think is gained by treating the hard work of talented coders as "weak" or "a side project". Small teams dream of making something like HK. These are hall-of-fame level devs that will be remembered for ages. They deserve more respect than that.

AAA games could never
It's probably something mundane like AAA releases come with more preparation for peak traffic.
If the services weren't preparing for absurd traffic for this game, they were downright negligent.

This is prove that direct downloads are ancient deprecated methods of delivery. P2P your releases.

Bought it. Found no easy mode for a dumbass like me. Refunded. Not Team Cherry's fault. Looked like a great game, but unfortunately not for me. :(
I really wished they added some easy mode, but it's their decision.
If you ever feel like giving it (or any other soulslike) another shot, I'd recommend putting less pressure on "beating" it or how much you're "failing". The joy of these games is the process, not (exclusively) the result - learning the sequences, the rhythms, and steadily getting better. That's what these games are all about. If you're just rushing to beat everything as fast as possible, you're missing out.
I tried playing Hollow Knight. But I couldn't even beat Mother Gruz, despite trying more than a few times. I gave up in the end. I understand that the problem lies with me. But, I really wanted to experience the world.
What is the point of process, if it inevitably leads to frustration?
