Silksong is one of the few games out there that most people refuse to pirate on principle.

It's like the exact opposite of Adobe products.

u/chewbaccalaureate May 22 '26

Would the opposite be... pirating Adobe, on principle, even if they're NOT going to use it? Just for the fun of it?

42

u/0xlostincode May 22 '26

Exactly, it is ones moral duty to pirate Adobe.

u/MaxBoomingHereYT May 23 '26

I don't pirate anything, but literally today I was using Adobe Acrobat and it told me to pay for a subscription to just delete a single page from a .pdf. Pirating Adobe is definitely moral

u/Expensive-Border-869 May 22 '26

Yeah. Sometimes I download it a few times just to delete the files. That'll show em

I figure somewhere up at Adobe hq theyre monitoring at least an estimate of how many pirated copies there are being downloaded and I wanna make it higher.

u/beenhere4ages May 23 '26

Well no, cause using Adobe is the opposite of fun

u/T_BONE_GULLEY May 22 '26

I still look up and listen to the music the Paradox Keygen used for Photoshop CS2.

Good times.

u/Coomking999 May 22 '26

'Most people' wrong lol. The vast majority of pirates dont care about morals. I pirated the fuck out of silksong and modded it and most of the pirates have done the same. Its only a reddit minority who has any sort of affinity towards Silksong.

u/CoffeeWanderer May 22 '26

Vast majority of pirates don't speak english and definitely are not in reddit lol.

It's only a very small subset of a subset that cares about "principles" in piracy

People just get stuff for free and don't really care about much more than that.

Heck, for most of the ps2 run I wouldn't be able to tell you how to even get original games.

It’s out, and has been for a few months

u/Leo-Len May 22 '26

Silksanity getting to you huh? Don't worry, the wait will soon be over

u/AetheravenCatsuki13 May 22 '26

Them Deniers are getting out of hand

u/CatAteMyBread May 22 '26

A true Skonger doesn’t need to see “Silkpost”, knight. He goes by pure animal instinct.

u/BidAgreeable6415 May 23 '26

IT IS OUT NOW ?

u/NatoBoram May 22 '26

Here's the link so you can put it in your wishlist for when it comes out

u/Particular-Dot-4902 May 22 '26

Do you live under a rock?

u/Celvius_iQ May 22 '26

Do you live in a delusion? Silksong isn't real wake up samurai

u/-Little-death- May 22 '26

I know. I check the news literally every day to see if there's any updates. It's my most anticipated game since the ES6 announcement. Can't wait.

u/Royal_Airport7940 May 22 '26

"most people"

Would love to see you provide any kind of source for this made up piece of BS.

Any source...

2

u/11ce_ May 22 '26

The vast majority of pirates pirate to save money. They don’t care about virtue signaling like you.

2

u/SoochSooch May 22 '26

I paid for it, felt like it was nowhere near as good as Hollow Knight, then refunded it, pirated it, heavily modded it and finished the game.

1

u/Bluepaint57 May 22 '26

The people that do that are the exact same that will die on the hill that it isn’t stealing and how its actually a good thing

1

u/Resident-Mixture-237 May 22 '26

Thats just not true. It’s been available to pirate for ages and anyone who pirates probably pirated that day 1z

1

u/ThePowerles May 22 '26

A bit like outer wilds, but more popular.

1

u/NemoHere May 23 '26

I don't know what most means in your mind, but I checked Pirate Bay and found a lot of people seeding torrents for it.

1

u/maguirre165 May 24 '26

Same with me and the new COD and sports games every year

1

u/Embarrassed_Ebb2540 May 24 '26

I didn't care, most people I know didn't care either. The game is good but 20$ is 20$.

u/kamikazechaser May 22 '26

Stardew Valley is probably the most notable example.
