Pirates truly have no shame

You know, if I was to ever make a game, I would leak a torrent out there a few weeks early of my game. The only catch would be that this version of the game comes with something that starts eating your hard drive after a certain date and at certain dates after that.

I'd start making people paranoid to pirate my shit. Let them sue me and admit that they're pirating crap because the pirated versions are the only ones that has that code.

 

Have you ever heard about weird and dumb lawsuits??? My sister is a lawyer and she told me about how her firm makes settlements and wins court fights from really dumb cases (she told me some of them, i laugh as hell) and most of them are worth hundreds of thousands and millions...

 

If they have a really good lawyer, then they'll win and they'll take you for everything you are worth, that's the reason you can't do that, however, what you can do is do it off the record so they have no proof (but this means that the good code has to be also available for pirates)...

 

It's not my fault they _somehow_ managed to get a hold of an early unreleased to the public build of the game that had that horrible bug in it.  If I really thought it was a problem, I'd just place a EULA in the beginning of that version that right smack dab in the middle of that crap would wave my responsibilities and that the player would have to agree to before starting the game.
