Honestly, it's refreshing to see a studio prioritize fan goodwill over quick cash grabs with that free upgrade path. The hype for Silksong feels like it's been building forever, and knowing we'll get to experience it fully optimized from day one just hits different.
Nice to see Team Cherry keeping things player-friendly with the free upgrade—always a welcome move in an industry that often nickel-and-dimes us. Can't wait to finally dive into Silksong and see how those enhanced features make the wait worthwhile.
