Cracked Game Released To Get Back At Pirates [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

John Wagger writes "When Greenheart Games released their very first game, Game Dev Tycoon (for Mac, Windows and Linux) yesterday, they did something unusual and as far as I know unique. They released a cracked version of the game, minutes after opening their Store. The pirated copy was completely same as the real copy, except that after a few hours into the game, players started noticing widespread piracy of their games in the game development simulator." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Cracked+Game+Released+To+Get+Back+At+P irates%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10Oktf5) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F04%2F29%2F1412232%2Fcracked-game-released-to-get-back-at-pirates%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/04/29/1412232/cracked-game-released-to-get-back-at-pirates?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)

As I've said before, nothing is going to stop piracy, nothing is going to wake a pirate up or otherwise change a pirates ways. The social message aside, it's kind of a neat idea for a sim-type game.
