The first Hollow Knight was released at the same price. They never had a guarantee, yet they still delivered the game with basically the same quality level that leads to Silksong being so highly anticipated.
They just did more of what they are doing without asking for more DESPITE their first game blew up. For comparison, you could look at CDPR keeps expanding due to their initial Witcher success and lands on the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 (GOG is still a really good thing they end up making though)
