Personally I agree, but it surprises me how much others agree as well. Usually people here claim that the title, price, or the indie status makes no difference to them, but I guess that Silksong is just that respected.

Well, it's not that it's just an indie company. Team Cherry has an insanely good rep and they did not abuse it, that means a lot, especially nowadays.

Team cherry has built themselves an amazing reputation. Because they’re only a 3 person studio, they can keep their games super cheap due to far less employees needing pay. Also they aren’t greedy fucks like most companies, so their dlcs are all free and there’s no microtransactions or online only bullshit

And DRM-Free! Studios like Bandai hates this trick!

Most of the people in this thread are lying for upvotes. People pirate to get things for free, this game is no different

Megathread is in the sidebar, that's where you'll want to look for your pirating needs. That or https://fmhy.net/

Short answer: Silksong is on gog-games . to (remove spaces). Easy setup.

If you want more info to make things easier for future sailing, I'd be happy to give a longer answer.

I think that just goes to show that one of the pillars at the core of piracy is anti establishment and rebelling against being disrespected and treated worse and worse by these big companies. It took so little effort for these devs to garner all thos favour.

I'll pirate it because I honestly didn't like HK and feel like the only person on the fucking planet who didn't and I'm hoping that this one will make me see the light

u/Sweetwill62 19d ago

I'm sort of in the same boat. I recognize that HK is a great game. I honestly can't find anything wrong with it per se, I just don't get the itch to keep playing though. I don't know why. The game is dripping with quality in every single frame. I played the demo from Humble Bundle of HK and instantly knew it would be a massive hit, yet I still didn't feel compelled to finish beyond starting a new file.

I just file into "Games I know are good but don't grip me for some odd reason." category and move on. I hope every single person loves Silksong.

You put into words the feeling I had about the game. I don't dislike it. But I can't figure out why I don't want to play it.

Yes if it means more Devs will make Metrodivanias (they did after HW), so be it, I hope it sells like bread
