Re: Space Empires V Pirated!
Pirating software increases sales like this.
1.) Download Torrent
2.) Pirate tells others about the game and Torrent
3.) ....
4.) PROFIT!
No offense, but I think people who buy software after pirating it is maybe 0.01% of all software pirates.
Now while the dummy-torrent plan is deceptive, it's basically a ploy to sour the milk for would-be pirates and discourage them from attempting to pirate it.
On the other hand, we can have a bit more fun with the dummy torrent and load it up with advertising materials, the demo, and such and distribute that in its place of the actual game. This wouldn't discourage piracy of it, but expose the game's demo to more and more people.
