Well no more! You&#8217;ve all been living high on the hog for too long. It&#8217;s gone now, and players are sad. &#8220;Boo for the removal of float override,&#8221; writes one player in the Hollow Knight Discord. &#8220;REALLY disappointed by the float override removal,&#8221; writes another on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HollowKnight\/comments\/1neutm4\/comment\/nds5mdv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans are so dismayed by the removal that they&#8217;re sticking obstinately to the release patch. &#8220;I&#8217;m sticking with 1.0 entirely for this reason\u2026 I use the float override all the time, and I don&#8217;t need any of the other changes,&#8221; writes one player on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HollowKnight\/comments\/1neutm4\/comment\/ndsas6l\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a>.

Some of them genuinely like the higher difficulty of that version. Again, over in the Discord a few players are sticking to the first edition for now, since they preferred that version&#8217;s increased difficulty.

What leaps out to me about the Silksong sickos is that, even among those who are sticking to the game&#8217;s launch patch, there seems to be very little judgment going on. Whenever a game gets made easier, I tend to expect a lot of tedious braggadocio from players eager to flaunt how good they are at videogames. But in the case of Silksong I&#8217;m mostly just seeing a lot of people content to enjoy the game as they want to enjoy it and happy to let others do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Are\u2026 are gamers maturing?
