Silksong’s $20 tag could hurt the indie scene, but only if devs let price anxiety win

Silksong will be priced at $20. It feels low for how long it's been in development and how big the franchise is. Developer Team Cherry could've charged $30 or even $40 and still sold millions of copies because of how beloved the original Hollow Knight is, not to mention how much hype players have had for Silksong since 2019.

Still, it really costs only $20. This low price is making some people, including other indie developers, believe the game is so cheap that it will hurt the pricing options of other indie games.
