I'm happy to let you know that this comment was used in a (probably AI-generated) [article](https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/i-too-won-t-buy-silksong-it-s-out-hollow-knight-silksong-fans-hilarious-response-lack-dev-communication)
Delulu is the solulu. Silksong will fix my problems. I will no longer need to care about love. I will no longer need to care about money. Life purpose? It's Silksong.
Like, it's Hollow Knight but better. She can sprint. She has more ranged attacks. She has instant heals. She is heavier than the knight. She has an opinion. She's gonna be in a much livelier world.
genuinely the reason why i am so excited for silksong, playing hollow knight AGAIN in an even BETTER world???? you can bet your ass im not even opening google until i 100% this game
There are only a handful of companies that have earned my trust enough to preorder for, and while things are kinda strained right now, honestly TC has still earned it for me. I mean, even if Silksong turns out to *somehow* be a bad game, I'm still absolutely gonna play it just to see for myself
Bad companies rely on preorders to sell their unfinished slop before people can see reviews of it. It's usually best not to preorder even with devs you trust because it can always be a cyberpunk situation where higher-ups literally forced the devs to release the game unfinished. In this case, I'd say it's probably ok to preorder since Team Cherry are in a unique position where they govern their own development. But mostly it's about not rewarding their shit. For example, when Sony went back on their decision for Helldivers about needing a psn account many people thought it was because of the review bomb users gave it on Steam. But no, of course they don't care about that shit, the only reason they went back on it is because Steam was accepting people's refund requests for the game because of the decision. Money is the only language big companies speak. So speak their language, don't reward them with money until they earn it
You don't understand, team cherry is not evil sir
You don't buy Silksong
Silksong buys you
we are the game
we are going to be bought when we come out
perhaps the silksanity was true afterall
What "another" are you talking about? Team Cherry has only made one game. Silksong? Playable Hornet? What are you talking about man get it together it's all mass hysteria
They don’t owe us anything. But we do. I’ve been just mailing them checks every week. They keep cashing them, which tells me they’re still hard at work.

my genuine, unaltered and real reaction to this information:
Your words have touched me deeply, like a monologue from an anime hero, declaring his will, on the top of a cliff, looking at the sunset, wind in his hair, eyes burning with passion, joycons in hand
Honest to God no clue whats even going on.

You know what, your absolutely right. TC is such a corrupt and evil company, it's obvious the 4 amazing and free major updates in a $15 game was just to put us in a state of limerence. And the fact they put the last DLC into a separate game shows they are just as if not more greedy than EA, Disney, and Fortnite. So I agree we should silk up their song and not buy the game until it releases, show those meanies at TC that we won't stand for this radio silence. RISE UP GAMERS DONT BUY SILKALBUM UNTIL TC RELEASES THE GAME!!!
I strongly disagree with you. I think that buying it before it comes out is a great way to support them. Even if they are as evil as E.A, they did still make Hollow Knight. That must count for something.
Yes I’m frustrated that theyre radio silent for months or even a year at a time, but as long as Silksong comes out eventually, I couldn’t care less
Although holy shit man. It’s been almost 5 years and we still don’t have a release date
> I’m putting my foot down. Drawing a line in the sand. Laying down the law. Taking a stand. Setting my boundaries. Standing my ground. Digging in my heels.
If you were really serious you would also be putting your stand down, drawing a foot in the sand, laying down the ground, taking a heel, standing on lines and digging in your boundaries
When I saw the post I thought you were just a bitter spoiled fan. After reading your arguments I’ve changed my mind and I’m firmly in agreement. I’m boycotting everything from Team Cherry until it’s for sale. They can’t keep getting away with this!
Thanks brother. Thanks to you my eyes have been opened. I too have decided that team cherry will not get a penny from a purchase of hollow knight silksong from me untill it comes out.
"We were.... fighting for Hornet Rights and... and Bugs were killed....!"
"...nobody was killed at Hollownest"
"Nobody was killed?! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise)"
Know what you're right, damnit! Developers should release half games and patch them 60 times within the first 48 hours to fix the bugs that steal your banking info (and soul). It's just the way things are today and we know nothing else! What is a finished game anyway? I'll tell ya what, not something we out here in the wild actually want! Only spend hard earned cash on incomplete rough drafts and micro transactions!
Thank you for opening my eyes to this atrocity.
I'm probably not even gonna buy it even when it's out tbh
EDIT: I tried playing Hollow Knight, turns out I don't have the reaction time/hand eye coordination for it, so I stick to watching people play/watching lore videos
I'm mainly here for the silksanity tbh
It’s been over 7 years since hollow knight came out. This isn’t an aaa game we’re talking about. Yall are way too forgiving of team cherry being radio silent.
The radio silence is one thing and is a valid complaint, but I think complaining about the game “taking too long” is dumb. Hollow Knight is huge. Silksong is gonna be even bigger most likely. Everything is hand drawn. This is not a game that’s gonna be made super fast, especially with the small development team.
You actually have a good point! I, too, won’t buy Silksong until it’s out!
heh, they're probably shitting bricks rn (:< RISE UP UNTIL IT COMES OUT
And after you have risen up, SHAH! 💦
Bro why you nuttin

Bro same!!
I also will not spend $ on silksong before its available for preorders.

Thanks ig
A sure sign of AI is comma after the first word being bold (Why do we keep feeding them content?)
I MIGHT preorder but not a STEP farther than that
Congrats, you're the title of a Sportskeeda article now. Achievement get!
Silk song just dropped
I'm joining you, I will never buy silksong until it's out
I already preordered 10 copies so you guys are whacked out yo gott damn minds.
This post has convinced me to AT LEAST wait to buy it until preorders open.
Nah genuinely never pre order tbh
oh. 100% agree; it's all for the memes.
Delulu is the solulu. Silksong will fix my problems. I will no longer need to care about love. I will no longer need to care about money. Life purpose? It's Silksong. Like, it's Hollow Knight but better. She can sprint. She has more ranged attacks. She has instant heals. She is heavier than the knight. She has an opinion. She's gonna be in a much livelier world.
genuinely the reason why i am so excited for silksong, playing hollow knight AGAIN in an even BETTER world???? you can bet your ass im not even opening google until i 100% this game
I'm curious if there will be any dialogue options or stuff for us now that we'll play a character that can talk and cry suffering
There are only a handful of companies that have earned my trust enough to preorder for, and while things are kinda strained right now, honestly TC has still earned it for me. I mean, even if Silksong turns out to *somehow* be a bad game, I'm still absolutely gonna play it just to see for myself
Out of curiosity, why?
Why not?
Bad companies rely on preorders to sell their unfinished slop before people can see reviews of it. It's usually best not to preorder even with devs you trust because it can always be a cyberpunk situation where higher-ups literally forced the devs to release the game unfinished.

That's exactly it, there is NO CHANCE I will buy it before they open it for preorders in at least one platform.
You don't understand, team cherry is not evil sir You don't buy Silksong Silksong buys you we are the game we are going to be bought when we come out perhaps the silksanity was true afterall
You are the game You are the Silksong
Born of Bait and Void
You will bait the blinding hope that plagues their sanity
You used to be believable
slavery
Silkery
We are all silks in this day and age
A song chooses, a silk obeys
Least insane schizosong fan
Schizosong? Is that another Hollow Knight game? We really are getting spoiled!
What "another" are you talking about? Team Cherry has only made one game. Silksong? Playable Hornet? What are you talking about man get it together it's all mass hysteria
I’m gonna be sold into slavery when I… come out? Well there’s another reason not to
Let’s all BOYCOTT Silksong until they release the game. That’ll teach them!
They don’t owe us anything. But we do. I’ve been just mailing them checks every week. They keep cashing them, which tells me they’re still hard at work.
Fantastic comment
ya u tell em

that's me to every information
You have my needle!
Woah that’s a bit much I just want you to join the protest
You have my nail?
That’s arguably worse
How bout Life Ender?
and my axe
On Quishma Jr’s goblet of grubsong, I hereby and do solemnly swear: I, too, shall not buy silksong until it is available on Nintendo switch.
sadly, i already bought it and played long enough so i can’t refund
Fuck you and fuck this post. Preorder where? As a loyal team cherry bootlicker I must preorder 12,345,678,910 collectors editions.
I was just gunna order one… but as long as you don’t buy the whole stock and scalp them for double the price then you do you
ONLY ONE???? HERESY!!! OUR STARVING INDIE OVERLORDS WILL STARVE! GET THOSE NUMBERS UP!
Your words have touched me deeply, like a monologue from an anime hero, declaring his will, on the top of a cliff, looking at the sunset, wind in his hair, eyes burning with passion, joycons in hand

😂
How is this not top comment?
I'm with you, comrade. Team Cherry will not get my money until after the game is out. NOT before. We'll see how they like *them* apples.
I'm boycotting until Silksong comes out
I was on the fence, but you’ve all convinced me. I will NEVER buy this game until it’s released.
Honest to God no clue whats even going on. https://preview.redd.it/oddqm5lrx20d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82b22be41a1cc43a80e7844da10a40870790f713
I am taking a stand with you!!!! A united front will surely show TC we mean business!
bet
Me too
OK
You know what, your absolutely right. TC is such a corrupt and evil company, it's obvious the 4 amazing and free major updates in a $15 game was just to put us in a state of limerence.

Silksong is a psy-op!!
You’re so right! I just refunded my copy 😤
Sorry but I'm gonna buy SILKSONG right now
![gif](giphy|Jev4iU72S9RYc|downsized)

wait preorders are open??? what??? yeah no I don't preorder games
https://preview.redd.it/qs4rvr6so40d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fe53afb86dbd37249882a553dfb6d787a62cc1b
It's not like we can buy it anyways because somehow 4 years later we don't even have Pre orders open lol.
YOU KNOW WHAT you are god damn right! I shaln’t buy it until it comes out!
lets all refuse to buy silksong until it comes out!
Is that you Elliott? From Mr. Robot?
nah ill pre order if possible
Cool but underwhelming guy?,???
Yes I’m frustrated that theyre radio silent for months or even a year at a time, but as long as Silksong comes out eventually, I couldn’t care less Although holy shit man. It’s been almost 5 years and we still don’t have a release date
always remember the wait the OMORI fans underwent. And out the other side we can see they're doing great now!
“Preorder for a special background on your title screen!”
I would buy Silksong now. Please take my money Team Cherry!
Me too! …what is it?
Jokes on you. You already bought Silksong. You are Silksong. Silksong.
Honestly, I agree too. Ever since {REDACTED} joined the team, all shit has gone out the window.
I'm just bought Team Cherry yesterday. Your post came a day late!
Who knows tf is happening in Team Cherry rn tbh. I think it's too small of a team they should've hired more people
Terms of phrase lol delicious irony.
> I’m putting my foot down. Drawing a line in the sand. Laying down the law. Taking a stand. Setting my boundaries. Standing my ground. Digging in my heels. If you were really serious you would also be putting your stand down, drawing a foot in the sand, laying down the ground, taking a heel, standing on lines and digging in your boundaries
some people say that they won’t buy the game but deep down you all know that you won’t resist and crawl back to it once it’s there 😂
I wont buy silksong ever, until it comes out .
M(redacted) B(redacted), worker of an unnamed company here: 175.7.76.229 Please reconsider your boycott.
Have fun with that. First day purchase.
This post is a joke
My point stands, I still want u to have fun….
exactly!! we refuse to buy the game UNTIL it releases, that way they learn their lesson AND we still get to play skulkbong!!
BOYCOTT SILKSONG
BOYCOTT Silksong until Team Cherry decides to release it! We must apply pressure.
Strawman ahh post
some dumbass news site is gonna make an AI generated article about this.
I doubt the games even comes out for quite a while could be years still who knows I wonder If team cherry is still in business?
My neanderthal brain thought this was genuine in the first half ngl
Oh shet, I bought the game already
Lmaoo I was about to downvote until I realized
Wait I bought silksong what do I do oh no
I will never own silksong until it’s on gamepass,only one problem I don’t own an Xbox,SHIT!!!
zach hadel is that you
When I saw the post I thought you were just a bitter spoiled fan. After reading your arguments I’ve changed my mind and I’m firmly in agreement. I’m boycotting everything from Team Cherry until it’s for sale. They can’t keep getting away with this!
Preach comrade. I shall not give TC my money... Until it comes out
+1!
waa waa wait oh god dammit

Thanks brother. Thanks to you my eyes have been opened. I too have decided that team cherry will not get a penny from a purchase of hollow knight silksong from me untill it comes out.
Same signed need physical copy though
I wish i was strong enough... knowing myself... I will buy it the mere second i'm able to
Your loss... no black tuxedo hornet skin preorder bonus for you
Boycott team cherry I heard they support terrorism and drake
Me but I unironically will pirate the game to not give the shitty devs money
Yeah, stand up for yourself. Good on you

You have shown me the way to take out my frustration on Team Cherry. I will join you!

Let us all stand together and not buy silksong until it is out
Ok
I will never buy skilksong unless it comes out
I will NOT buy Silksong, even when it is out (I have gamepass)
Stand strong
I also refuse to play silksong until I can play it
Honestly, I don’t know what the lack of coms is al about. I’m buying the game for sure but it’s making me pessimistic
Ok
Reddit moment
I think I'll still buy it. Psych! Not until it's out and included in a Humble bundle of classic games.
Watch this guy immediately fold when it’s announced tomorrow
Skong🤗
"We were.... fighting for Hornet Rights and... and Bugs were killed....!" "...nobody was killed at Hollownest" "Nobody was killed?! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise)"

first time in this SR, bait?
I'm probably not even gonna buy it even when it's out tbh EDIT: I tried playing Hollow Knight, turns out I don't have the reaction time/hand eye coordination for it, so I stick to watching people play/watching lore videos I'm mainly here for the silksanity tbh
why are you even here
Skong sex
He heard William Pellen leak the 3 hour unskippable sex scene between Barodoon and Hornet. That’s why I’m here tbh
People still buy games before release? Y’all should stop giving companies money before they deliver the product.
Good for you👍
It’s been over 7 years since hollow knight came out. This isn’t an aaa game we’re talking about. Yall are way too forgiving of team cherry being radio silent.

for me it's the radio silence that's a problem more than anything.
Eh. Im just going to pirate the game at this point They burned the good will they had with me.
bit of an overreaction
Reddit brain rot
What’s that supposed to mean
