Bennett Foddy’s Baby Steps Is the Next Game Delayed Because of Silksong

Team Cherry’s recent decisions regarding the release of their upcoming title Hollow Knight: Silksong have been questionable. At Gamescom, a demo of Silksong was playable in a cross-promotional event with Microsoft’s new handheld console; the collaboration came in the wake of Microsoft laying off 9,000 employees despite earning record profits, and BDS calling for a boycott of the tech giant due to their complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestine. Furthermore, Team Cherry has also decided not to share early game codes with press, effectively forcing reviewers to crunch. And, of course, Team Cherry announced Silksong’s release date just two weeks before it’s slated to come out, which has prompted other small developers to delay their own releases; if Silksong’s release date was known earlier, other games could’ve avoided that week to begin with, instead of having to change their plans at the last minute.
