Part 2/10:
In an astonishing turn of events, major digital platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and Nintendo’s eShop simultaneously crashed—not due to cyberattacks or high-profile game launches, but because of a humble indie sequel about a bug with a nail, titled Silkong. Developed by just three people in Adelaide, Silkong hit a staggering 535,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, rivaling mainstream AAA titles like Call of Duty. This feat was achieved while it was also available for free on Game Pass on launch day, highlighting the appetite for genuine, engaging experiences over marketing hype.
