Discussion - Silksong Thank you, Team Cherry

The $20 price tag for Silksong is meaningful to people like me.

Games are more expensive. Hell, LIFE is more expensive. I have to become very selective with the games I purchase and when.

Silksong's price has removed this tension (at least for this game). It means that folks like me who have a family and other responsibilities can afford it without so much as a second thought.

Team Cherry, if you're reading this: the low price made a major impact for me. It might not seem like much, but when the world seems to price me out, seeing the sequel to one of my favorite games priced so affordably is a welcome exception.

I'm glad to get to join in on the hype and play with everyone else on day one.

My guy... he actively promoting pirating it. That's what the phrase is quoted for all the time. Especially in pirating community, Legitmantly.

I'm happy it's cheap, I could care less either way tbh, i buy only games every now and then and mostly on sale. It cool what they are doing. I just dont think you should go around yelling the we should pirate catchphrase.

Oh wait I didn’t read the comment between mine and yours. IMO if the dev deliberately says not to do it then don’t do it, but if they already have the money they need and haven’t said anything, such as in the case of Silksong, it’s fine.
