Why is everyone going crazy over a metriodvania that didn't even sell that good and wasn't that popular UNTIL the second game was announced to be released?

Compared to other metroidvanias, it sold pretty well. It also regularly maintained 10k players for six years, which is around 10x more than other popular metroidvanias. Personally I think Nine Sols was better, but Hollow Knight is way more popular.

How do they afford it? The Australian government certainly wouldn't give them money for it.

It sold 15 million before that. It's almost like peak players don't tell the full story for a game which found its success from word of mouth leading to steady sales over 8 years

they announced 15 million copies sold in august, silksong was revealed what, 5 years ago now?

I'm pretty sure the OP was talking about the spike after the release date announcement

imagine being a shazamfag and having literally nothing better to do with your life than shitpost on a taiwanese rhizome cultivation forum in the vain hope that it will make a bug game flop.

Normies don't know how to emulate, so HK was their first metroidvania experience
It's like Castle Crashers for the people who never played beat em ups, that game also got unreasonably popular compared to other games in the genre despite only being okay

>>719703056
And 90% of those were from humble bundles they gave out like candy

i also don't get it and if it's popular then it's either shilled or some gay ass shit for dumb fucking normie fucks

it's right to call out these faggots on /v/
i never played this shit therefore no one should have played it. fuck you
if i want 2d i play noita or terraria, not your gay shit
