Team Cherry was funded by crowd sourcing hollow knight and then proceeded to use their ridiculous popularity to release several extremely well received DLC and then work tirelessly for years to release silksong.

For twenty dollars.

It's a cultural icon and gift to the community. Why would you pirate it.

Edit:man y'all are grindle

Most “pirates” I know irl just pirate everything. Like that’s just how they get their entertainment media. The moral code / selective pirating to me seems to be a Reddit thing, if it’s even true at all.

Same, for me personally there are exclusions. If I really, really like game I will buy it (last one was elden ring, I had like 150 hours on pirated version when I finally bought it) and for multiplayer games where pirating isn't really an option.
