I’m fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.
Also, no one said that people can’t keep the rights for a while, just that if you don’t let people access those things you don’t get to prosecute them for making the art available.
I accidentally beat the Mantis Triplets far earlier than I needed to because I couldn’t find the path into the ruined capital city I was meant to take.
Long route back to fighting the optional boss to enter a far too difficult zone for me. Only after beating them and discovering that that was not where I was meant to go did I backtrack and find the turning I’d missed to actually progress. (I rather liked Hollow Knight despite this, but you don’t and that’s fine. I just think it would be funny (, and a sign of poor map design if you made the same map reading error I did).)
