Game Dev Tycoon

[Skyblade]

I can assure you that their little joke on the pirates got them a lot of publicity and word of mouth that they likely never would have had otherwise Skyblade. When the news about that came out they were reporting it everywhere.

True. I would never have heard about it without the reporting on the anti-piracy version

But it makes me question whether it was an effective anti-piracy tool, or merely a publicity stunt.
