There was something like this before - i think it was an indie dev punishing those that pirated the game in an ironic manner

Anyway, this is a good method of discouraging cheaters.

This video game developer game.  Where early in the game it'd play normal, but later in the game no matter how much you advertised, every AAA game or low budget game would make the same amount because it shows how many people pirate it. 

Quotes like "people keep pirating my games and I'm making no money," etc, etc.  The developers themselves released a tweaked version for the people they knew would pirate it and released it the day of launch.  I wonder if any of those people looked at pirating video games the same way again and now don't do it.
