Game Released For Free on Torrent Sites by Its Developer
While complaints against piracy from the music and movie industries are pouring in daily, and book publishers as well as game producers are catching up with lawsuits and anti-piracy strategies too, others have adopted an entirely different approach. RedLynx, developer of Trials HD, a game you can quickly become addicted to, has decided to take matter into its own hands and be one step ahead of pirates - so, the company has voluntarily made its own game available on popular torrent sites. However, there’s catch - the version distributed for free on p2p networks was short of one key feature, namely - Leaderboard support, a feature which RedLynx CEO Tero Virtala, called “the soul of the game.” The strategy is that the pirates would love the game so much as it is - without leaderboard – that they would want to buy the full version of Trials HD and enjoy all it has to offer.
