I love it. i think the best way to thwart pirates is to preload games on torrent sites with "bugs" like these

"Said another user: "Why are there so many people that pirate? It ruins me! Not fair."

That's so awesome. Kudos to these guys. Maybe I'll check it out on steam. Love these kinds of sim games.

What about developers who clearly copies from other developers? *cough game cough dev cough story cough*

Well I will not buy their game because they simply copied it from game dev story; Gonna let them know on their forums.

"To the players who played the cracked version!

 

I’m not mad at you. When I was younger, downloading illegal copies was practically normal but this was mostly because global game distribution was in its infancy. To be fair, there are still individuals who either can’t make a legal purchase because of payment-issues or who genuinely cannot afford the game. I don’t have a quarrel with you. To the rest who could afford the game consider this:

 

  1. Would you like to see a bigger/better sequel of Game Dev Tycoon in the future? Buy the game! Creating this game was already expensive and this was just a small game. If we ever want to make a bigger/better version we need a lot of support!
  2. Do you hate the trend towards social or pay-to-play free games? Buy games from independent developers! (start with ours )
  3. Do you hate the recent trends in the industry? Buy DRM free games.

 

We are not wealthy and it’s unlikely that we will be any time soon, so stop pretending like we don’t need your 8 dollars! We are just two guys working our butts off, trying to start our own game studio to create games which are fun to play.

 

The game is DRM free, you can use it on up to three of your computers for your own use, you get copies for Mac, Windows and Linux, you can continue your game before piracy wrecked your company and we even aim to provide you with a free Steam key once the game is on Steam. All for a mere 8 bucks."

I feel sorry for the guy,

He's obviously worked his ass off and 90% of the people online he has not got paid from,

Bid sad due to it being such a small studio,

Very clever what he did all the same, xD

Makes me want to go and buy it now lol

But after a day on sale, 3104 of the 3318 copies being played were pirated.

 

^ Holy smokes, that is terrible ;x.

What are you talking about? Piracy isn't hurting the gaming industry.
