The day is finally upon us. The gates are open. The silk is singing, the bugs are depressed, and after six years of waiting, people are finally playing Hollow Knight: Silksong. A lot of people.
While the Skong-frenzied masses left Steam's store server infrastructure a smoking ruin for a few hours, it only delayed what's become a still-rising flood of first day players. At time of writing, more than 500,000 people are playing Silksong on Steam, and the number's increasing every time I refresh the SteamDB chart.
