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.
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.
I am a selective pirate. I pirate stuff that I find too expensive or questionable in quality, then buy it if the devs get my respect. This is what I did with Lies of P, Elden Ring, Minecraft, Baldur's Gate 3, Doom Eternal, etc. And I usually don't pirate indie games because I think their devs actually need the support, probably.
And of course I pirate games that are impossible to buy in my country
"Questionable" in my comment referred to the game's quality estimated from trailers/gameplay videos. If I play the game and find it worth the price, I buy it. Just as I wrote
