you could have at *least* included a physics (dynamics) playground feature.

We all know just about all DRM gets defeated (usually very quickly) but if you want to convince the suits
that DRM doesn't work you need to provide games with really good value and *longevity*.

Who wouldn't feel cheated paying £40-£50 for a game that's completed in four or five days of play.
Its no wonder the less honest resort to stealing!

If the game was half the price there would be a lot less piracy

if it was five bucks who'd bother? sell 'em cheap - pile 'em high....

Pirates will download it even, if it will cost 10 cents...

The game is 15 bucks, and it's better then most retail games, which are usually 40-60 bucks. Pretty good value IMO.

I'm in the majority!

Which game are you talking about? World of Goo is nowhere near that price range.

OCD completed on all levels then? Beaten the minimum time, maximun goos recovered & least moves? No playground! Did you even try to build a tower in WoGC? ::)

Ok, hermit basically just owned chris in every way.  :D

Yet people steal from discount stores like Netto & Aldi, and even charity shops!

Someone who pirates WoG is doing the equivalent of stealing from a charity shop.

Unfortunately there will always be people who want something for nothing. :'(

technicly pirating is not stealing as you are not taking any thing away, but yes people will alway pirate stuff

WRONG!

You are STEALING another persons intellectual property rather than paying for it as you should. Don't believe me? Ask a lawyer...

for it to be stealing the owner (2d boy) has to lose something. and as piracy is only copying they are not loseing anything apart form a customer who probably would not buy the game any way.

They lose the money that should have been their's when buying the game. Saying the pirate would never have bought it does not make it legal or morally right!  ::)

Making 85% of WoG players criminals... if they were ever to get caught... and that's the problem with piracy, it's pratically impossible to catch everyone who has pirated a game so they see no risk in doing so!

Who honestly can put their hand up and say they have NEVER used pirated software? I can't see many hands... ;)

If the police were able to seize your PC and search through all your disks without warning THEN they'd catch a hell of a lot of people... just be glad they can't... yet! :o
