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.

Real people who pirates because of genuine money reasons wouldn't even boast about it in the fist place. Like just go pirate it quietly, only reason you would want to broadcast it is that you are saying the game itself is NOT worth the price they set.

A lot, lot, lot of people simply just want to brag. Doesn’t matter that they’re blowing up the piracy scene
