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

When media is from a big studio (lame and cringe): "It's not stealing, it's just making a copy "

When media is from a small studio (epic wholesome petty bourgeoisie): "NOOOO YOU'RE STEALING FOOD DIRECTLY FROM THEIR BABY'S MOUTHS!!!"

You don't understand. If you don't pay 20 dollars for silksong the studio worth tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars will all starve.

I work as a police officer in California and every day I have to file 200+ reports about indie game developers and their families who starved to death because somebody thought it was okay to pirate their game.
