Maybe will make people, including some of you realize that piracy is not a victimless crime.

Well partly it's the dev's fault. They posted the game right on the release time, while for some games it may take a day or two to get it cracked, meaning there would be more "buy-than-download" kind of thing. Yet the game was available to be downloaded right from the start. It's basically calling for trouble.

You know you're wrong if you hide behind your invisible powers you never had in real life. Those who watch me will entirely understand.

Why do I do what I do? Because I know you won't stand someone opposing you. And because you know you can't prove me I'm wrong.

I wonder why Matt missed out the information about why they did it, as it is pretty relevant

Developer did it with a little glitch hidden inside the game - people who download the pirated version play the game alright until the very moment where a player gets a message that the first video game their company will start selling will be pirated - thus making the company bankrupted and losing the game, forcing to start over.

Actually I didn't mention everything to keep the suspense. :p

Btw, the glitch was not when they created first game, but when they were on level 7-8, so it annoyed the hell out of gamers. :D


And message was something like you make game, and it people pirate it like hell. "Sir, too many people pirated our game and we are going bankcorrupt.

What's even funnier is people asking online, OMG WHY DO PEOPLE PIRATE?!! (when they pirated the game themselves) oh the irony. lmao

Yeah, I even posted the image of the message. Didn't you see?
