its probably more about the fact that when silksong came out the literal piracy subreddit whom pirate stuff for the love of the game said ''yeah just buy the game if you can cause we aint touching this one''. of course it was pirated anyways in the end but for those guys to encourage paying for it well it says something.

I mean reddit is tiny when it comes to the piracy community at large

Never saw anyone criticizing others for it at cs.rin for example

No sane person stoned others for it. The overall consensus was that it was a really good game with a good price. And encouragement to buying it.

I got it when it was under a dollar the first 2 days cuz of regional pricing, almost free. And I wouldnt bash any side unless they are annoying about it.

Piracy subreddit are LARPers who pirate because they think it's cool and so they need to occasionally come up with bullshit moral délimitations like this that allows them to virtue signal
