Silksong demo. Let's not get too excited here!
I liked Hollow Knight just fine, and I'm sure I'll enjoy Silksong, but it definitely doesn't have me super excited. Invincible Vs, though...that one I'm looking forward to.
TBH the layoffs were already yesterday's news, with basically no one talking about them. I don't think MS needs any diversion tactics for that, and even then, Silksong wouldn't be it.
Wtf Silksong is real?
games releasing on Xbox
I'll believe it when I see it, They're probably just announcing 20 cancellations.
Silksong
Won't believe that until it's on my local storage, until then it's just a myth.
How many of the 20 demos won’t be released? I’m sitting at a solid 15, maybe 18.
The ones from first party studios (which Team Cherry is not) that are near completion will be, the teams fully fired, and then phil spencer will talk about how MS needs more studios like them and that those are some amazing games and have you seen any Palestinians lately because he has some friends who want to know.
But Silksong and most of the third parties are probably fine. They don't have to worry about MS killing them because too many people thought of uninstalling windows last week.

We'll probably find out about a few extra games that were cancelled just before they were demo'ed later on.
Well, obviously all of the demos, but probably not all the games and of the released games they will probably fire most of the developers.
The Silksong News guy is going to have an aneurysm.
Has cancel culture gone too far? Now they're making an entire fair about canceling games! /s
