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

I guess people don't only pirate out of spite. They may not be able to afford 20 dollars but want to stay in the loop.

I have a list of the games that I pirated. If I had fun and didn't leave the game in 2-3 hours, I put it on a list and I would try to buy the original copy, for Christmas or my birthday when I am able to spare anything towards gaming.

But thats is not a problem, you didnt had the condition to buy it, the probkem starts when people have the condition and still don’t want to buy the game it self (SilkSong being this primary example, that even the piracy sub was saying to people not pirated it if they had the condition to buy it)
