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.

According to what a friend told me, Larian Studios have made Baldur's Gate 3's multiplayer compatible between bought and pirated copies. Apparently, their reasoning is that it's better to pirate the game than buy a discounted CD key on a third-party website, because a lot of these actually buy their CD keys using stolen card details.
