Cracked Game Released To Get Back At Pirates

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."

So basically

So the game company is admitting that it's a really crappy simulator because if they were willing to "pirate" their own game, surely the real losses from piracy can't be that bad because they are willing to take them.
