Notably, contempt the community's zeal astir Silksong and the memes, obsession, and fanaticism astir its eventual release, neither Gibson nor Pellen truly paid overmuch attention. They accidental they tried to enactment quiescent passim improvement some to debar spoiling the community, and to absorption connected improvement first. But then, improvement took a batch longer than they primitively thought it would. Still, they didn't truly work either Reddit oregon YouTube comments.

“It’s bully that radical are passionate astir the game, and that they’ve evidently formed their ain unusual oregon precise breathtaking communities astir it,” Gibson said.

“Feels similar we’re going to ruin their amusive by releasing the game,” Pellen said.
