Perhaps it’s time for Hollow Knight fans to look inward, and ask yourselves the questions that really matter: What have you done to deserve a Silksong update? And what are you willing to do for it?
It’s time to take a long, hard look in the mirror and reflect on your past actions. What has your endless whining and complaining about the length of time the sequel to Hollow Knight is taking done for the greater good of humanity? In what ways have your Reddit posts and Youtube comments about your hatred toward Team Cherry been beneficial in internet discourse?
From my perspective, your attitude during this pre-Silksong era has been inexcusable. Think about the game devs whose moment gets stolen during a Nintendo Direct by “Silksong!?” spam in the chat. A well behaved Hollow Knight community would’ve had an update by now, you’re doing this to yourselves.
A crying toddler screaming over candy will never learn the tough lessons of life by being given what they demand. Why would this be any different? The Hollow Knight fandom’s predictable tantrums thrown after every State of Play and Games Fest should not be rewarded. Patience is a virtue.
By now you’ve made up your mind. Some readers have already closed this tab and moved on to their daily cyberbullying. But not you, you stayed. Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards maturity and acceptance.
So hear this, Hollow Knight fans, it’s time to put down the torches and pitchforks, they’ve done more harm than good. Instead why don’t we take a walk in nature, volunteer at a local non-profit, or do literally anything else. There are millions of video games waiting to be played, don’t throw away your precious years waiting for what you think is the right one to come along.
