If you're into gaming then you definitely know how easy it is to get pirated games. You may have even heard about the effects such piracy has on game development houses and indie developers. Well, now you have a chance to experience the what it takes to make games.

There's this game called Game Dev Tycoon, developed by Greenheart Games, where you start your own game studio from scratch in your basement and grow it to become a world leader in the gaming industry, overcoming obstacles faced by regular, real world game studios.

Interesting idea, right? Thinking of getting the game? You might want to grab it from their website for just $7.99 and avoid downloading a pirated copy from the usual sources.

Why, you ask? Well, the developers of this little gem have also released a different copy of the game on the popular torrent sites and the unique feature of this 'pirated copy' is that after a few hours of playing, the game development studio that you created in the game begins to suffer losses in due to piracy too. An interesting way of discouraging piracy and letting pirates know that their bad habits are costing people their livelyhood.

So don't be a pirate! Go out and buy legit games and support the developers
