Linux Game Devs Upload Their Own Game To The Pirate Bay, It Increases Sales


To counter the piracy problem, Tiny Build Games who released NTTE few days back uploaded their own version of the game on The Pirate Bay.

But there is a difference in this version and the original game that you can buy from their website.
All in-game characters wear Pirate hats and the entire game is Pirate themed basically making it a No Time to Explain 'Pirate Edition'.



Torrent Freak found it quite strange and asked game developer Alex about this pirated version and he confirmed that indeed they have uploaded this as the game will be anyway downloaded illegally, then why not have a free pirate themed version.

“We saw very positive WTF REALLY feedback from users, and saw reactions that people bought it simply because they liked the joke. So we don’t see it hurting sales in any way” Alex said.


You can find their trailer here.


Note: TPB version is Windows only
