A Steam pricing analyst says she was actually thinking: โOh god, please price it higherโ when Hollow Knight: Silksong launched at just $19.99.
Pricing specialist Cassia Curran argues that the game offers so much content and quality for $20 that it could make things harder for other indie developers trying to charge $25โ$30.
โI was a bit like, โOh god, please price it higher.โโ
She believes $24.99 could have been a better price point for the wider indie market.
Silksong might accidentally make gamers expect huge, high-quality indie games to stay cheap.
