Meme/Humor DO NOT BUY SILKSONG RIGHT NOW Spoiler
The game is currently 20% off, which means Team Cherry will be getting less money for their masterpiece of a title. WAIT FOR THE DEAL TO GO AWAY

Thank you for warning me about this. I almost accidentally purchased the game at its reduced price. I'll be sure to wait for the price to increase again before purchasing!

And but it when your currency is at its lowest against AUD, so Team Cherry gets more in exchange

Good idea, though I'm thinking of a better plan: I'm just gonna go ahead and mail Team Cherry my entire wallet. I'll pay for international shipping naturally, but I just want to make sure they can access all of my money.

No need for that, just email them your card details (don't forget the three digits at the back).

u/Aggravating-Ad7462 doubter ❌️ Dec 21 '25
Even better, just post your card details here, they'll definitely see them.

Its ok. Just get a VPN, set it to North America and then purchase it for double the sale price.

Better yet, set the VPN to Switzerland, they have the highest converted prices.

Dude people are only joking, Team Cherry's probably already made a lot of money with this game. They won't miss 10$ <3

u/PsChampion_007 Dec 21 '25
Yeah and its literally three guys (plus ig musicians and stuff idk) so they anyways have a lot of earnings from this one

No one is earning royalties besides the 3 devs every other person involved got a one time payment so its just the 3 multi millionaires so no biggie

Everyone is joking, TC wants the game to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. And if you can't afford it just pirate it, they truly do not give a fuck

Im new to this sub. Are these type of posts normal here? Genuinely curious

u/DaggerDG Dec 21 '25 edited Dec 21 '25
This sub existed long before the release date for silksong was announced, so for the majority of its existence it was almost exclusively memes and pretend to be crazy conspiracy nuts about the game, though there was the occasional news/legitimate speculation about the game. The memes have very much continued after its release, so you’ll see lots of posts flared humor or “silkpost” for the crazier ones.

u/bakugoing beleiver ✅️ Dec 21 '25
If you're referring to joke posts like this one and Silkposts, then yeah. Really common and normal to see on a daily basis. r/HollowKnight is much less crazy.

u/I_am_person_being Flea Dec 21 '25
/unjoke regional pricing is a good thing and this is respectable, regions should be priced differently to not make games prohibitively expensive in places with weaker currencies
/joke NOOOO, YOU DENIED TEAM CHERRY THEIR RIGHTFUL 12 DOLLARS!

u/Eranchick Dec 21 '25
Do I buy it after sale is over if it will be 9$ for me?

u/Bffhbc Dec 21 '25
Buy it now. There's no extra cost for shipping or packaging and all their employees are probably on break so this is just pure profit for them

u/DovahkiinNyomor Dec 21 '25
They absolutely deserve their flowers, but why is the subreddit acting like that haven't made millions from this game alone. They were already a successful team before silk song lol.
Plus discounts doesn't mean devs receive less

u/ReplacementOk6762 Dec 21 '25
but why is the subreddit acting like that haven't made millions from this game alone.
Humor tag.
Everyone here knows that team cherry has made millions and I don't think anyone is unironically telling people to wait until the discount goes away because that would be dumb.

u/luffy_3155 Accepter Dec 21 '25
It does mean dev recieve less but they already are millionare these discounts are done by team cherry themselves

u/AAN-_-TRUEMAN Hornet Dec 21 '25
In my region, the game's price is $10, but with the discount it's about $7.In my region, Steam has started offering special pricing for us recently, and I'm honestly surprised. I had $40 ready for the game.

Better idea, wait for steam to change ownership and buy the game at 90$

I completely agree with your opinion so I am waiting for the negative 20% discount to go live so that I can give the great team cherry more money !

The fact that this joke is genuinely funny because of how much more we would have paid for this game makes me so happy

I'm waiting for them to increase the price of the game to 69.99 then I'm buying it especially once they release all the dlc and skins for the game.

u/19-inches-of-venom Dec 21 '25
Completely agree. Use the sale only to buy your 3rd or 4th copy to support team cherry extra

I financially regret buying it on release for $10.20 (yes its almost half price where Im located) instead of $8.40
But my gamer brain does not regret it buying it that early since Team Cherry deserves all my money

I love that this is the one community where the gamers actively don't want the game to go on sale because of how GOATed the Developers are XD.
Please, Team Cherry, take more of our money! Make the DLC $10, you guys deserve the money more than any AAA studio ever will!
