Lol - Game Dev Tycoon forces those who pirate the game to unwittingly fail from piracy
What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy?
That's the question asked by Greenheart Games, the two man indie developer made up of Patrick and Daniel Klug, who included a special surprise within hacked copies of their game.
The duo's motto is "less social, less ville, more game". They launched their first title yesterday - development simulator Game Dev Tycoon for PC, Mac and Linux.
The game costs just $7.99 (£5.15) to buy - money which will go straight back to the game's creators.
But after a day on sale, 3104 of the 3318 copies being played were pirated.
Pre-empting the game's eventual appearance on file-sharing sites, Patrick and Daniel Klug uploaded their own cracked copy of the full game. But within the code lay a few extra lines.
