I don't know what I find funnier, the $20 price on a $5 game, or the efforts the dev is putting into anti-piracy. Dude is literally spending time that could be spent making more game and thus more money on fighting people that won't be meeting his steep as prices in the first place.
Like seriously, your asking me to pay the same amounts I would pay for games like xcom or ark, for LESS overall game. You want to ask those prices, make a game worth those prices, else get out of here.
On the whole wasting time bit, dude literally has a second game being worked on. The less time he is spending on fighting the pirates, the more time could be spent finishing one game and focusing on the other, maybe even starting a third. Though I suppose the retards with more money than sense will keep stupid ideas afloat. As long as you can appeal to the lowest common denominator I suppose it doesn't matter.
