It's a myth that that increases demand overall. All it does is force the people who want your product to try harder to get your product, which makes it look like demand is up in the short run, but it also makes it harder for people who may not be quite as enthusiastic about the product, who will simply give up and buy something else if they don't find it. In reality that tactic reduces sales, it doesn't improve them. It doesn't even give Nintendo or Sony the benefit of being able to charge higher because the profiteering (selling for very high on ebay) is done by others and not them.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
