Hearing rumors that Silksong will be releasing very shortly.

I don't think rumours are necessary. It got ESBR rating less than two weeks ago and got a page up in Microsoft store at the same time.

I really hope they just do an insta-drop with zero announcement or marketing. Just as an experiment more than anything else, let's see if we can make a totally self-marketing game, zero dollars spent on PR, ads, any of that stuff. Let's see how well the game does completely on its own through nothing but word of mouth.

The original Hollow Knight game guarantees far better and more wide-reaching publicity for the sequel than any realistic advertising campaign could achieve

Isn't that basically what Hollow Knight did?

Yes I suppose you could call a previous product that a company has made that was mostly universally praised as being a good product to be advertising, it would be the purest form of it there is. Using the pudding itself for proof.

But that wasn't the kind of advertising I was talking about.

No, I don't mean Hollow Knight as advertising for Silksong. I mean that I don't remember any real advertising push for HK when it came out. All of a sudden there was just a tremendous game available and everyone was talking about it.

I understand. Yeah so I guess they already did that experiment, and it worked.

Which makes this approach make more sense oh my god. That's it! "We never marketed Hollow Knight and look what happened. We can't start marketing Silksong because that's not what works. What works is just making and releasing the game."

It makes so much sense now.

My guess is that they just didn't have the money for marketing on the original. I expect there will be a little more of a push for Silksong, although frankly it barely needs it since the entire world is salivating waiting for it.

Do they just not know? Are they kind of social mecha illiterate and assume that their PR guy is getting across their issues in a concise and straightforward manner? Duke Nuke Forever was never on my radar so I couldn’t say for that but did the 3D realms people say anything for their durance?

I think they just don't give a poo poo. Is there a single hollow knight fan that won't play silksong whenever it comes out? Is there a single person who didn't play HK who is excited for silksong at this point?
