Re: parasite in city
Hey, don't feel bad. You all should be proud if you did your best, no matter how it compares to the work of others.
It's attracted a total of >4616 unpaid downloads at a (DLsite value to USD) cost of $71,199.69 to PixelStudio, minus the DLsite cut. On the other hand, you have a mind-blowing 1,708 downloads on DLsite - 189 (11%) of them even

it! I'm not attempting to open the general debate on IP theft, but I would like to know how you feel about this, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
And how exactly do you even track "unpaid downloads"? That seems like
something that could cause a small uproar if it really existed..
I mean, it's possible, but only if you porposefully bug a download site with the game on it and see how many fish bite the hook, but that borderlines on invasion of privacy..
From my point of view as an experienced pirate, I can say that
the game is generally unpirateable currently to a regular run-of-the-mill
pirate..
Links will surface in 2 weeks to a month that will be widely available, but
until then the only reliable source would be PM's, connections, or if you
were determined, I suppose you could dig deep enough and find a stray link
hidden in a backwater forum somewhere.
Somehow I doubt THAT many people have pirated the game so early, and even if they did, the loss in profit wouldn't even be half as large as that..
Hell, the developer probably didn't even make that much yet with all the sales so far.
Or I could be jumping in the dark and spewing out-dated hullabaloo... *shrugs*
Either way, there's my two cents..
