This is hilarious and the fact that these folks did not see the irony of their situation is priceless.

Haha, brilliant.. Remedy did a similar thing on the PC version of Alan Wake.

Edit: found the picture on Google. Ooh argh, me hearties!

Currently downloading it - adding piracy to the game sounds like a interesting challenge :)

Question: When is pirating a game you can buy morally justifiable?

Answer: It isn't.

It's like peeking someone's answers off a test. Maybe you need a good grade. Maybe you know the answers, and you're just checking. Maybe you have a god-given right to a good grade, whether you earned it or not. Or maybe you're just too lazy to do the work yourself, because it's easier to leech off of someone else. It doesn't change the fact that they did the work, and all you're doing is taking advantage of them.

Piracy may not be "theft," but it is contemptible, and it is wrong, and to say otherwise is just juvenile.

Good for these guys.

it's a good game I have it for over a couple of months now; Does get boring after a while though

"Patrick Klug had even appealed to those interested in the game pre-release, stressing the fact that the game came DRM-free, with an installer for all three platforms, with copies for three computers, and a Steam key if their Steam Greenlight campaign is successful."

A quick question here: What does 'copies for three computers' mean in the case of a DRM-free game?

I assume it just means it is legal to install on three computers.  You know, for people who actually care about what they are legitimately allowed to do rather than what is physically possible.

For example, Apple used to sell family packs of their iWork software for a modest difference in price.  Physically there was no difference between the single-user and multi-user versions, and no license key was required.  It was purely a way to respect those who were scrupulous about proper software licensing and not overcharge them for it.

Ah, good point, totally forgot that possibility. Probably because while I wouldn't share the game with anyone, I'd install it on as many devides as I'd play it on. That is, if I owned the game (which doesn't mean I've pirated the game because I haven't).

It's a win or loose attitude.

More people will buy or more people won't ever because they did that.

Since they ripped of GameDev Story even though they aknowledged it AFTER, I won't.
