RobinGould - - 3 comments @ How can we lower game piracy?

although some indie developers do suffer, it is also part of the market.
as We see sales techniques like the humble bundle popup and developers getting quite decent average prices on their games.

I admit those sales techniques won't work for everyone.
but if we keep blaming/punishing our potential customers, I see no end in sight. I think it is a challenge for us as Indie games developers to adapt to these new circumstances.

Heck if i release a single player game i'd probably release a couple of pirated versions myself.

There are tons of ways to do this by offering special discounts/free copies to our most devoted players we help fix this.
Or even offering extra online features/services which add value beyond our singleplayer game modes.

Can't really call it either good or bad, yes this will take away some chances for indie developers, yet it's part of the current age and only those who adapt will survive.
