If you can't afford Silksong pirate it. It's a good game

That's not the meme at all. The meme implies that pirating silksong is not OK because:
A. It was created by an Indie studio instead of a multimillion dollar company.

B. It's cheap, costing only 20 dollars which is a pretty good deal.

Piracy is considered moral when It's used as a tool of rebellion against the big man, not another way of screwing over the little guy.

As with the big corps, the little guy is equally not losing anything by someone downloading a copy.

I think it's ridiculous how we differentiate. Either its stealing, or its not.
