If lots of games used similar methodologies then people would slowly learn that "pirated game" == "buggy game". Wouldn't work unless lots of them did the same thing of course.
- steveklabnik 16y agoNo, they don't have anything to compare it with. They'd never figure out that it's because stuff is pirated.
