    I absolutely agree, compare the amount of skill and effort that goes into a 2d platformer versus something like red dead redemption 2.

    It’s like comparing a school play versus an opera, the amount of passion they put in might be the same or often way more but the opera is aiming higher and with a bigger budget.

    That’s not to say that an opera is necessarily more enjoyable, just that the tickets are justifiably more expensive

      Just by proximity of thoughts you are aligning Silksong with a “school play” which is purposely and unquestionably inaccurate. What about the execution of Silksong strikes you as amateur or childish?

      At least compare two performances made by people the same ages, if you’re going to feign a reasonable comparison.

        It was not my intent to say it was amateurish or childish, just less effort required, without a value judgement.

        Perhaps you’ll find this one more fitting: compare a single story house and a skyscraper. You can prefer one or the other, both can be beautiful, both require skill and expertise to construct but one is obviously more complicated and expensive to make.
