RE: Friend had Hollow Knight in his library - had never played it
I love this game, and what silksong could be, and the majority of this community. However, whenever theres a direct, the most toxic of fans come out in the live chat spouting "Wheres silksong?" "TRASH" "Who tf cares give us silksong" etc.
Team cherry is a small team of indie devs who worked really hard to create a game that everyone loves. They started out from the bottom and climbed through the top with hard work/luck. There are a lot of devs who have put their heart and soul into what you might consider to be a "trash" game, and it hurts me knowing that they'll have to read their game get sh*t on simply because its not silksong.
The people you're critiquing and hating are real. Be a community that we can be proud of, not the community thats full of toxicity.
